MR. PATRICK O'BRIENMay I ask the Leader of the House whether the Ordnance Survey Vote will be disposed of on Saturday or Monday?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYIf the Vote is not disposed of this evening it will be put down for Monday. I do not think that I can ask the House of Commons to sit on Saturday for the purpose of discussing this particular Vote.
THE FIRST LORD OF TEE TREASURYI should be extremely surprised if the day on which it is taken does not turn out to be Thursday. As the honourable Member knows, Monday is the last day for Supply; the First Reading of the Appropriation Bill will be taken on Tuesday, the Second Reading on Wednesday, and the Committee stage on Thursday. The Indian Budget will be taken after the Committee stage.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI do not think it possible.
