MR. J. MORLEYI wish to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will be kind enough to tell us what the order of business is to-morrow and Friday?
§ *THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH,) Strand, WestminsterI cannot say what the order of business will be on Friday until to-morrow, and we see what progress we have made. We propose to take the Report of the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill first to-morrow, then the Vote on Account, and, if there is time, the Report stage of the Pleuro-Pneumonia Bill.
§ SIR W. LAWSONPerhaps the Government will also tell us whether it is their intention to adjourn for Derby Day, because I understand that a very important Bill—the Channel Tunnel Bill— has been put down for that day, and with the sanction of the Government?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI do not know whether the Government can adjourn on Derby Day. All I can say is, that I never adjourn on Darby Day. I am usually very hard at work on that day. Whether the House will adjourn on Derby Day remains for the House to decide.
§ MR. McARTHUR (Leicester)Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Western Australia Bill will be taken on Friday?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHIt depends upon whether the Report of the Select Committee has been circulated.
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI think it would be unfair to take it on Friday. Hardly sufficient notice could be given.
§ MR. CONYBEARECan the right hon. Gentleman make any further statement about the holidays?
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI stated I should mention the holidays to-morrow.
