HC Deb 02 November 1916 vol 86 c1861
Mr. R. McNEILL

I have been requested by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Dublin University (Sir E. Carson) to ask the Prime Minister whether he can now fix a day for the promised discussion on the sale of enemy properties in Nigeria?

The PRIME MINISTER

On Tuesday we shall take the Second Reading of the Constabulary and Police (Ireland) Bill, and the Output of Beer (Restriction—No. 2) Bill, and the Committee stage of the Anzac Bill.

On Wednesday we shall take some stages of the small Bills on the Paper, and on that day time will be found for a discussion with regard to the conditions of sale of enemy properties in Nigeria.

Thursday's business I shall announce next week.

Mr. McNEILL

May I ask, as the time appears to be very short on Wednesday, whether the right hon. Gentleman will provide for that by proposing the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule? It is a matter of very great importance.

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not think that is necessary, because the Bills which will precede the discussion are of minor importance.
