HC Deb 02 September 1909 vol 10 c583
Mr. A. J. BALFOUR

Is the right hon. Gentleman the Prime Minister in a position now to make a statement as to the business of next week?

The PRIME MINISTER

We propose on Monday to take the second reading of the Development Bill, and we also hope to get the Committee stage of the Financial Resolution connected with it, and possibly also one or two uncontroversial items of business.

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we shall continue the Committee stage of the Finance Bill, and

On Friday we shall take the Report and third reading of the Housing Bill.

Mr. REMNANT

Will the right hon. Gentleman say when he is likely to introduce the Police Weekly Rest Bill alluded to in his statement, and when shall we see it in print?

The PRIME MINISTER

On Monday, at the commencement of business.

Mr. BALFOUR

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us any idea as to the length of the sitting which the Government contemplate for to-morrow, as it would be a convenience for Members who are going out of town?

The PRIME MINISTER

I should not like to name a definite hour. I hope we shall get away by what is commonly known as dinner-time.
