§ Mr. ADAMSONCan the Leader of the House inform us what business will be taken next week?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWOn Monday we shall take the Third Reading of the Naval, Military, and Air Force Service Bill, the Education (Scotland) (Superannuation) Bill, the Army (Annual) Bill, and other Orders on the Paper.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are reserved for Private Members' Motions, and I, therefore, assume that both days will be wanted for the Second Reading of the Housing Bill.
On Thursday we shall take Supply. Ireland will come first, and, though it may be sanguine, I hope that there will be adequate time for the discussion of indemnities.
§ Mr. A. SHAWCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the Scottish Health Bill will be taken, and also when there will be a sitting of the Scottish Grand Committee?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI cannot say. The Health Bill will be presented to-day, but it cannot be discussed.
§ Sir P. MAGNUSCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the House will adjourn for the Easter Recess?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt is impossible to give a definite time to which we can pledge ourselves, but I hope that the House will be able to adjourn on Tuesday or Wednesday, 15th or 16th April, till Tuesday, 29th April. I hope that will be the arrangement.
§ Mr. R. McNEILLCan the right hon. Gentleman say, in the event of there not being time to discuss the subject of indemnities next Thursday, whether another opportunity will be afforded?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWCertainly! I have already promised that. If we do not have the discussion on Thursday, we will try and arrange for it as early as possible in the following week.
