§ MR. STEADMANMay I ask the First Lord of the Treasury on what date the London Government Bill will be taken in Committee?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI am afraid that I cannot give any specific answer to the honourable Gentleman. It will depend on what work is done first, but in any case the Bill will not be taken this week. The sooner it reaches the Committee stage the better I shall be satisfied.
§ MR. CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)Can the right honourable Gentleman state what day the Local Government Vote will be taken?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYNo, Sir; not at present.
