HC Deb 19 June 1918 vol 107 c361
Mr. RUNCIMAN

Will the Leader of the House say whether the House is to sit on Friday, and if so, what business will be taken?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes. I am sorry that it will be necessary to sit on Friday. The first business will be the Committee stage of the Consolidated Fund Bill, which is purely formal. Then we shall take the Third Reading of the Finance Bill, and, if time permit, we shall also take two small Bills—the Juries Bill and the Workmen's Compensation (Silicosis) Bill).

Mr. KING

In what form will the discussion on the Irish question take place next Tuesday? Will it be on a Motion or the Motion for the Adjournment?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It will be on the Motion for the Adjournment.

Mr. PRINGLE

Will it not be convenient to introduce the Irish Home Rule Bill en Friday.

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think so.

Mr. KING

Will the Prime Minister be here himself on Tuesday, if not before?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I hope that he will be here on Tuesday. Whether he will be here before will depend on other engagements which it is necessary to keep.

Ordered, "That the Proceedings on Consideration of the Report of the Committee of Supply [18th June] and of the Committee of Ways and Means [18th June] be not interrupted this night under the Standing Order (Sittings of the House), and may be entered upon at any hour although opposed."—[Mr. Bonar Law.]
