§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister what Orders it is proposed to take if the suspension of the Eleven o'clock Rule is carried; and, secondly whether he can now say when an opportunity will be given for a Debate on the Report of the Committee of Privileges?
§ The Prime MinisterTo-day, after we have obtained the remaining stages of the Fire Brigades Bill and the Imperial Telegraphs Bill, we desire to proceed with the business up to and including the Eighth Order on the Paper, and the Money Resolution relating to the Supreme Court of Judicature Bill. Some of these Orders are not of a contentious character. There is no intention of asking the House to sit late.
With regard to the Report of the Committee of Privileges, as my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer informed the House yesterday, it will, of course, be necessary to bring the Report of the Committee of Privileges before the House. I would like to suggest to the right hon. Gentleman that conversations should take place through the usual channels to see what arrangements can be made for an early Debate upon the Report.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on Government Business 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, 254; Noes. 124.
