§ 49. Mr. REMERasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the difficulty caused by important trade associations not being represented on the Grand Committee dealing with the Ways and Communications Bill, and as many of these associations desire Members of this House to move Amendments on the Report stage of a constructive nature, he will delay the Report stage for one month after the completion of the Committee stage to enable these Amendments to be placed on the Order Paper in considered form?
§ Mr. SHORTTI hope it may be possible to meet the hon. Member's wishes by allowing a short interval between the Committee and Report stages of the Bill, but a month would be too much.
