HC Deb 11 April 1921 vol 140 c747
Mr. CLYNES

May I ask the Leader of the House if he has any announcement to make of variation in the business for to-day, and whether, in the event of Mr. Speaker being able to leave the Chair, we can be informed what business will be taken thereafter?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I hope that we shall be able to get Mr. Speaker out of the Chair on the Civil Service Estimates in the course of the day. After that we shall take the Committee stage of the Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill—after eleven, if necessary. We must get on with it. Possibly we may be able to begin it before eleven, and I hope we shall, but, in any case, we must proceed with it after eleven.

Mr. HOGGE

Does the right hon. Gentleman mean that the whole of the Committee stage of the Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill will be taken to-night?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would not say that, but we must begin the discussion.
