§ Colonel LOCKWOODCan the right hon. Gentleman tell us the business for next week?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWOn Tuesday we propose to introduce the Pensions Bill. The Prime Minister might be asked on Tuesday for the business for Wednesday.
§ Sir E. CARSONWhen are we going to have these Bills for the amendment of the Ballot Act which raise the question of votes for soldiers and sailors'? We were told we should have them immediately after the holidays.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI cannot give a definite answer. I understood the Prime Minister was to consult my right hon. Friend as to the machinery for doing it. If he will put a question to him on Tuesday, I am quite sure an early day will be arranged.
§ Mr. HOGGEWill the Pensions Bill be circulated before Tuesday?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt must be introduced in the ordinary way before we can have the Bill before us.
§ Sir F. BANBURYWill the Leader of the House, as a rule, be able to tell us on Thursday not only the business for the following Tuesday, but also the business for the following Wednesday? It makes it very difficult for Members to arrange what they are going to do in the following week if they only know the business which is to be taken on one day.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI quite recognise the justice of the point made by my right hon. Friend, and it is always the desire of the Prime Minister to give the information, but to-day he is unable to give it.
§ Mr. PRINGLEIs the Government's difficulty due to their sense of the pre-cariousness of their own existence?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am not aware of that.
§ Resolved, "That this House, at its rising this day, do adjourn until Tuesday next."—[Mr. Bonar Law.]
