§ Mr. BONAR LAWMay I ask the Home Secretary what business will be taken in this House the week we resume after the holidays?
§ Mr. McKENNAOn the Tuesday that the House reassembles we propose to take the Epileptic and Defective Children (Education) Bill, the Criminal Justice Administration Bill, and some smaller Orders on the Paper.
As to Wednesday and Thursday, perhaps the right hon. Gentleman would put a further question to me on Monday.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary —I presume I shall address him, though I gave private notice yesterday to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs—whether the Government can now give any indication of the date on which the Budget Statement will be made?
