HC Deb 07 December 1908 vol 198 cc97-8
MR. A. J. BALFOUR (City of London)

Perhaps the Prime Minister can give some forecast of the business for this week.

MR. ASQUITH

We propose to take the Prevention of Crime Bill Report and Third Reading to-day, concluding, I hope, about dinner time. After, we shall ask the House to take the Second Reading of the East India Loans Bill. To-morrow we shall put down the Order for the Second Reading of the Irish Land Bill after a Motion for the suspension of the eleven o'clock rule. On Wednesday, as the first business, I propose to move the suspension of the eleven o'clock rule for the remainder of the session, and then I will make a general statement. On Thursday we propose to take the Report of the Coal Mines (Eight Hours) Bill, and, I hope, the Third Reading on Friday.
