§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister whether he can make any statement with regard to the order of to-day's business?
§ The Prime MinisterIt is proposed to make such progress with the Report stage of the Finance Bill as will not only ensure the completion of that stage to-morrow, but will enable us to take the Report stage of the Agriculture Bill at a reasonable hour. We must, obviously, wait and see how the business proceeds, but my right hon. and gallant Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury will, through the usual channels, endeavour to fix a convenient time for breaking off the proceedings on the Finance Bill and taking the Report stage of the Agriculture Bill. In addition to the first two Orders to which I have already referred, we propose to take the Report stage of the Coal (Registration of Ownership) Money Resolution.
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the Agriculture Bill be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 231; Noes, 108.
