HC Deb 09 May 1916 vol 82 c620

Order for Committee read.

[Mr. WHITLEY in the Chair.]

Mr. HOGGE

On a point of Order, Mr. Whitley. I wish to ask whether this Bill can be taken now at twenty minutes to one?

The CHAIRMAN

If the hon. Member had been in the House earlier in the day—

Mr. HOGGE

Yes, I have been here all the night.

The CHAIRMAN

The Eleven o'Clock Rule was suspended for all Government business. That is the reason why it is in order to proceed with this Bill now.

Bill considered in Committee.

[Mr. MACLEAN in the Chair.]
