HC Deb 14 February 1919 vol 112 c445
Sir D. MACLEAN

I desire to ask the Noble Lord a question with regard to Monday's business. The Bill which is down for to-day is the Re-election of Ministers Bill. I understood from what the Leader of the House said that he had some hopes that it might be disposed of on Monday. I do not know whether that will be so, but, if it is or if it becomes necessary to adjourn the further stages of the Bill, what other business does the Noble Lord propose to take?

Lord E. TALBOT

We shall have on the Paper the Aerial Navigation Bill, and it is hoped to proceed with that if there is time. I think we shall have on the Paper the proposals with regard to procedure. I doubt very much whether we shall have time to make a start with them, but, if there is an opportunity, I have no doubt that we shall do it. We shall certainly get the Aerial Navigation Bill if we can.

Sir D. MACLEAN

Is the Bill circulated, or, if not, will it be circulated to-day so that Members may have an opportunity of seeing what it is?

Lord E. TALBOT

I was under the impression that it had been circulated.

Mr. BOTTOMLEY

Is the Noble Lord aware that there is a Notice upon the Paper for the rejection of the Ministers Re-election Bill?

Lord E. TALBOT

No, I am not aware of it.
