HC Deb 27 November 1912 vol 44 c1307
Lord BALCARRES

I wish to ask the Leader of the House whether he can make a statement as to what, if any, Government business will be taken to-morrow evening, and also, for the convenience of the House generally, about Friday's proceedings, as we do not yet know at what time the House will meet or at what time it will rise?

The PRIME MINISTER

To-morrow evening we do not propose to take any Government business after Eleven o'clock. It is our intention to take the Committee stage of the Established Church (Wales) Bill on Friday, but not to treat that as an allotted day. There will be some other Order, and it will not be the first Order of the day.

Lord BALCARRES

Do we meet at mid-day on Friday?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes; it will be treated as an ordinary Friday. The Established Church (Wales) Bill will be the second Order, and Friday will not be treated as an allotted day—it will be an extra day outside the allocation. I do not know whether the Noble Lord wishes to know about the business of next week?

Lord BALCARRES

Yes, if the right hon. Gentleman is prepared to make a statement.

The PRIME MINISTER

I may just as well state it now. Next week, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we will proceed with the Government of Ireland Bill, and on Thursday with the Established Church (Wales) Bill.
