MR. JOSEPH COWEN

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, If he can state the Bills it is the intention of the Government to propose for Second Reading before the House rises for the Easter Recess?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

In the absence of my right hon. Friend I have to say that the Government hope, on Monday next and Tuesday morning, to be able to take the second reading of the Bankruptcy Bill, the Criminal Code (Indictable Offences Procedure) Bill, and the Court of Criminal Appeal Bill, or as many of those Bills as may be possible, as these are the Bills which it is proposed to refer to the Standing Committees.

SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

inquired whether the Bankruptcy Bill would be the first Order on Monday?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Yes, Sir; it will.

In reply to Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE,

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. CHILDERS)

said, that it would be necessary to proceed with the Vote on Account to-night, at any hour at which it could be brought on. The first money Vote for the Navy must also be taken to-night.
