§ MR. WALTER LONGinquired from the Prime Minister whether he proposed to ask the House, supposing there was a desire to continue the discussion on the Small Holdings and Allotments Bill, to sit to a late hour, and what business it was proposed to take this week.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANsaid the business to-morrow and Wednesday would be the Army Bill, on Thursday Scottish Supply, and Friday the Criminal Appeal Bill. As to that night, they hoped to be able to take the First Heading stage of the Bill without sitting up to a very late hour.
§ MR. WALTER LONGpointed out that there was a private Bill down for that evening, which, there was every reason to believe, would occupy a con-
§ siderable time, and he inquired whether it was quite reasonable to ask the House to conclude that night the debate on so important a measure as the Small Holdings Bill.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANreplied that the interposed Bill had been discussed already at great length, and he did not imagine that the further discussion would be very prolonged. It was very desirable to take the First Reading of the Small Holdings Bill so that Members might see the measure in print and judge of its contents.
