HC Deb 29 March 1938 vol 333 cc1832-5
Mr. T. Johnston

May I ask the Patronage Secretary whether we can have a statement on the business which the Government propose to take to-night?

We hope to take the Orders down to the Money Resolution relating to Scottish land courts.

Motion made, and Question proposed, 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.]

Mr. Tinker
