IMPORTS AND EXPORTS REGULATION BILL.

HC Deb 04 December 1919 vol 122 c580

81. Mr. A. SHAW

asked the Prime Minister whether the Ways and Means Resolutions necessary for Clauses 3, 4, and 10 of the Imports and Exports Regulation Bill would be put upon the Paper before the Second Reading of the Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is not usual to put such Resolutions on the Paper till after the Second Reading, but I shall give consideration to the suggestion in the question.

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

Is it not probable that the action of many Members on Second Reading may depend on the details of these Resolutions? Is it not, therefore, a special case for this concession?

The PRIME MINISTER

I promised to take it into consideration.

Captain W. BENIN

Will the Government move that the Committee stage of the Bill be taken downstairs?

Mr. SPEAKER

That matter does not arise out of the question asked.
