§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he can state what are the proposals of the Government for business on resumption?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, 7th October, we propose to take the discussion of the Report on the "Titanic" disaster, and to take the Motion of which I spoke yesterday, for an address for an additional judge.
On Tuesday, 8th October, we propose to take the Report stage of the Temperance (Scotland) Bill.
§ Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINWill the right hon. Gentleman consider favourably the suggestion that the House should meet on the Tuesday instead of the Monday? As the right hon. Gentleman is aware, owing to railway arrangements Monday is always a very inconvenient day for many Members.
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is for that reason that I put down for Monday discussions of a non-contentious kind. I agree that to take the Scottish Temperance Bill on Monday might cause inconvenience to Scottish Members, who have to come a considerable distance, and who, perhaps, do not like leaving on Sunday night.
§ Mr. HOGGEMay I ask whether putting the Scottish Temperance Bill down at the beginning of the Session is done on the principle that the last shall be first?
