§ 47. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he intends to reduce the number of days which, under the Standing Orders of the House, would be allotted to the days of Supply during this Session; and whether, in the case of such a proposal arising, he will take into consideration the views of hon. Members expressed through the ordinary channels?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is probable that later on we may submit a Motion reducing the number of allotted days. In fixing Votes for the days that remain I shall be glad to consider the views of hon. Members expressed through the usual channels.
§ Mr. KINGIs the Prime Minister aware that there are about ten heads of important Departments that have had no opportunity yet of defending their action or the advantage of being criticised in this House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI hope there is no ground for attack.
