§ Mr. HUNTasked whether the right hon. Gentleman would put down any Government Amendments after the Committee 352 stage of the Insurance Bill as soon as possible, so that Members may have some chance of considering the amended Bill before the Report stage comes on in the House?
Mr. McKINNON WOODNo avoidable delay will be allowed to occur in this respect, but the hon. Member will recognise that the preparation of the Amendments will be a task of some considerable magnitude and intricacy for which time cannot be found while there are still Amendments to be prepared and considered in the Committee stage.
§ Mr. HUNTIn view of the fact that the Government have put down new Clauses and Amendments to an enormous extent at very short notice, will the right hon. Gentleman promise to give a full week between the end of the Committee stage and the Report stage for the consideration of what is practically a new Bill?
§ Mr. GOLDSMITHWhen will the Report stage be taken?
