§ Mr. STUART-WORTLEYWill the right hon. Gentleman say what business it is proposed to take on Thursday?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Thursday we shall take Supply—the Treasury and other outstanding Votes in Committee of Supply. We propose to take the Second Reading of the Dublin Reconstruction (Emergency Provisions) Bill to-morrow.
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo.
§ Sir F. BANBURYWill it be taken after Eleven o'clock?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAfter Supply.
§ Mr. PRINGLEThen you expect us to go on after Eleven o'clock?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe sooner Supply is finished the better.
§ Mr. PRINGLEIf we do not go on to Eleven o'clock we cannot take the Bill.
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe will provide for that.
§ Mr. R. MCNEILLWhen is it proposed to take the Time (Ireland) Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not know at all.
§ Sir F. BANBURYIn view of what the right hon. Gentleman said just now, may task whether he remembers that the Order which provides that no other business but Supply can be taken on an allotted day is an Order which has been in existence ever since the year 1902, and the practice was always so long before that. Am I to understand that the right hon. Gentleman intends to alter the Standing Order to enable him, at a late hour, to take a very controversial and contentious Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIf Supply goes on till Eleven o'clock the question does not arise.
§ Sir J. D. REESWhen will the right hon. Gentleman take the Municipal Savings Banks (War Loan Investment) (No. 2) Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNot to-day.
