§ Sir PHILIP MAGNUSasked the Prime Minister whether he can now state the duration of the interval between the con- 351 clusion of the Committee stage and the commencement of the Report stage of the National Insurance Bill; and if he can arrange that a reprint of the Bill, as amended, may be at the disposal of the Members of the House within a day or two of the termination of the proceedings in Committee?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)As I have already announced, our intention of taking the Scottish Land Bill on Friday, the two last days in Committee for the National Insurance Bill will be Monday and Tuesday next. I will give due notice of the date upon which the Report stage will be taken, but meantime I would call the hon. Member's attention to the fact that every morning the Clauses, as amended on the previous day, are circulated with the Votes. Arrangements will be made to have the full Bill circulated at the earliest moment on the completion of the Committee stage.
