§ Mr. BONAR LAWWhat will be the course of business for the remainder of the present sittings?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI understand that the business which has to be considered by the House of Lords will make it impossible for that House to deal with it this week. Therefore we have abandoned our intention of moving the Adjournment this week, and shall ask the House to sit on Monday and Tuesday next.
To-day we shall take the first three Orders of the Day.
To-morrow, the business will be the Third Reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill.
We hope to take the Welsh Church (Postponement) Bill on Monday.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWMay we take it that it is the intention of the Government to pass the Welsh Church Bill through all its stages during these sittings?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not say it is the intention, but we hope to do so.
§ Lord ROBERT CECILIs the Government going to do it or not?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have expressed our hope that it will be done.
§ Mr. LOUGHIs it absolutely necessary to take the Customs (War Powers) Bill during these sittings, seeing the difficulty we are under just now? Can it now be left over till the next sittings?
