§ Motion made and Question proposed, "That the Proceedings upon the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill, Seal Fisheries (North Pacific) Bill, Public Works Loans Bill, London Institution (Transfer) Bill, and Elementary School Teachers (Superannuation) Bill, if under discussion at Eleven o'clock this night, be not interrupted under the Standing Order (Sittings of the House), and may be entered upon and proceeded with at any hour, though opposed."—[The Prime Minister.]
§ Sir F. BANBURYI do not want to oppose this Motion if I can get a satisfactory assurance from the Prime Minister that he will not suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule for the remainder of this portion of the Session—I am not dealing with the Autumn Session—except for the purpose of taking further stages of the Bills mentioned in the Motion, and that he will not attempt to take any other Bill. If the right hon. Gentleman can give me that assurance I shall be pleased to sit down.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI hope I can come to terms with the hon. Baronet. We do not propose to adopt this procedure except in regard to the Bills named in this Motion and one other, the Light Railways Bill, but I may also add the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill. I hope that will satisfy the hon. Baronet.
§ Sir F. BANBURYYes.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
