HC Deb 24 February 1921 vol 138 cc1146-7

4.0 P.M.

Mr. CLYNES

In the absence of the Leader of the House, may I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer 4.0 P.M. what business it is the intention of the Government to bring forward next week?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

To-morrow, Friday, we propose to take Supplementary Estimates, four Votes in Class I and the first two in Class II.

On Monday, Supplementary Estimates—the Railways Estimate.

On Tuesday, the Speaker out of the Chair, on the Air Votes.

On Wednesday, Air Estimates, Vote A and 1.

On Thursday and Friday, the Consolidated Fund Bill and Supplementary Estimates.

Mr. HOGGE

May I ask if the Consolidated Fund Bill, on Thursday and Friday, is an ad hoc Consolidated Fund Bill for the purpose of the Railways Bill, and that only?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I think that is so.

Ordered, That the Proceedings on Unemployment Insurance [Money] Report and on the Unemployment Insurance Act (1920) Amendment Bill have precedence this day of the Business of Supply."—[Mr. Bonar Law.]
