HC Deb 15 July 1915 vol 73 cc1021-2
Mr. CHAPLIN

Will the Prime Minister say what the business will be for next week?

The PRIME MINISTER

On Monday we shall take the Second Beading of the Price of Coal (Limitation) Bill, and the other Bills on the Paper;

And on Tuesday, the Vote of Credit.

As to Wednesday and Thursday, I will make a statement on Monday.

Sir J. D. REES

When will the Government of India Bill be taken? It is on the Paper, but not circulated.

The PRIME MINISTER

On Monday.

Mr. T. M. HEALY

Does the Secretary to the. Treasury propose to-night to take the Second Reading of the Public Works Loans Bill, and will he state whether the very contentious Clause relating to the powers of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland has received the sanction of the Irish Office?

Mr. MONTAGU

We hope to take the Second Reading to-night.

Mr. HEALY

Can I have an answer regarding the Clause relating to the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland? Has it the sanction of the Irish Office?

Mr. MONTAGU

I think so.

Mr. J. SAMUEL

When is it proposed to take the Third Reading of the Pensions Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

On Monday.

Mr. BOOTH

May I ask whether the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill is one of the measures intended to be covered by the last sentence of this Motion? I would like to take this opportunity of giving notice to the Law Officers of the Crown that if the Bill is taken I shall ask my usual question, with regard to the position of the Isle of Man to this country, particularly in view of the establishment there of a concentration camp. I wish to ask whether it is intended that this Motion shall cover the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Question put, and agreed to.

The PRIME MINISTER

I beg to move, "That, on this day, notwithstanding anything in Standing Order No. 15, Supplementary Estimates for new Services may be considered in Committee of Supply; and that Business other than Business of Supply may be taken before Eleven of the clock."
