§ Mr. BONAR LAWMay I ask the Prime Minister what business will be taken next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, as I stated yesterday, we shall take the Second Heading of the Established Church (Wales) Bill, which will be continued on Tuesday, when we hope to take the Division. Thereafter we shall take the Second Heading of the Army (Annual) Bill.
On Wednesday, the first Order will be the Committee stage of the Army (Annual) Bill; then we will take the Motion which 331 I have undertaken to put down for a new Standing Order as to anticipatory Motions, and, if time permit, we shall take some of the smaller Orders on the Paper.
On Thursday, we shall put down Supply. I understand that the Stationery Office Vote and the Office of Works Vote will be taken.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILI do not know what is likely to take place on the Army (Annual) Bill in Committee, but does the right hon. Gentleman think that after that is taken will be a fair opportunity for the discussion of the new Standing Order? If he does insist on it, will he consider the desirability of suspending the Eleven o'clock Rule in respect of that discussion?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Army (Annual) Bill is not subject to that Rule. I have no reason to think it will occupy much time. I also hope that the discussion on Anticipatory Motions will not take much time, but, of course, I will undertake to see that the Motion gets adequate discussion.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILWill not the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of putting it down before the Army (Annual) Bill, which is not subject to the Eleven o'clock Rule?
