HC Deb 02 September 1939 vol 351 c221
Mr. Arthur Greenwood

May I ask the Leader of the House if he has any statement to make to-day?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon)

As regards the international situation, the Prime Minister will be coming down to the House later in the sitting, and will himself make a statement which cannot be made at this moment. It probably will be convenient to inform the House now what proposals we make for the present sitting. We propose to ask the House to give leave to bring in the six Bills of which notice has been given. The first four Bills we desire to take: as far as the Second Reading, the other two through all stages. It will be necessary for the House to sit to-morrow (Sunday) and we shall propose a meeting at 12 noon. We shall then consider Money Resolutions relating to the National Service, Personal Injuries, Pensions and National Health Insurance Bills, and the Committee and remaining stages of those Bills. Any other necessary business will be brought forward.
