§ Mr. McKENNABy leave of the House, may I ask whether any change has been made in the business for Thursday, and what is the business to be taken on Friday?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWA change has been made in the business for Thursday. The Government have found it necessary) absolutely necessary, as they think, to introduce a short Bill, giving the right of medical re-examination. Notice of it will be given to-day, and it will be introduced to-morrow. I should like the House, if they think fit, to take it on Thursday.
On Thursday, I hope that we may also be able to take the Report stage of the 226 War Pensions Bill, which we were discussing yesterday, and, if time permits, some other small Bills.
On Friday we shall take the Second Reading of the Bill for prolonging the life of Parliament. I should like also to say that I much regret that I cannot to-day say definitely when we hope to adjourn, and for what length of time, but I shall make a statement to-morrow.
§ Mr. HOGGEWill the right hon. Gentleman say that the Bill will not be taken unless it is printed, as amended?
§ Mr. McKENNADoes the right hon. Gentleman intend to take all the stages of the Bill for medical re-examination on Thursday?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI do not propose to take that course.
§ Mr. PEMBERTON BILLINGWill the right hon. Gentleman say how far he intends to proceed with the Orders tonight?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI hope to take the first two Orders, the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill and the Army (Annual) Bill, and if, contrary to my expectations, there be time, we shall proceed with the fourth Order, the Courts (Emergency Powers) Bill.
