HC Deb 04 September 1939 vol 351 cc434-6

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."— [Captain Margesson.]

6.25 p.m.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Margesson)

I should like to use this opportunity to say that we shall meet to-morrow at the usual hour of 2.45 p.m. We shall then consider a business Motion, and a Ways and Means Resolution relating to Import Duties Emergency Provisions. Afterwards we shall take the remaining stages of Measures which have been discussed today and Motions to bring in other essential Bills.

Mr. Bellenger

May I ask whether consideration has been given to the time of meeting of the House? The possibility was suggested yesterday of meeting earlier in the day.

Captain Margesson

Yes, consideration has been given to that and discussions have taken place through the usual channels, but it is felt that, for the time being at any rate, it will be as well to adhere to the normal time of meeting, namely, 2.45. However, I will not say that that is final.

Mr. C. Williams

Has my right hon. Friend any news as to a Thursday sitting?

Captain Margesson

Yes, the House will be sitting.

Question put, and agreed to.

Adjourned accordingly at half after Six o'Clock.
