§ 54. Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALDasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the curtailment of private Members' opportunities to discuss the policy of the Admiralty owing to the long speech delivered by the First Lord last Tuesday on the Motion that Mr. Speaker do leave the Chair, and of the fact that this practice has been growing into a habit during recent years, he will consider the advisability of either increasing the number of days during which this Motion is to be debated or of affording Ministers other opportunities of explaining the policy of their Departments before the House goes into Committee of Supply?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes, I will certainly consider the hon. Member's suggestion. The matter is one which might be well brought before the Committee on Procedure.
