HC Deb 30 May 1921 vol 142 cc599-601
Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

On the question of business, may I ask the Leader of the House—

Mr. SPEAKER

It is usual for some-body on another Bench to ask questions with regard to business.

Mr. CLYNES

May I ask the Leader of the House whether there is any change to be announced in the order of business?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It will be necessary, under the Emergency Powers

Act, for the House to approve of the continuance of the Emergency Powers Regulations. This must be done during the week, and I propose to ask the House to take the discussion, if time permit, to-morrow, after the Report Stage of the Financial Resolution of the Safeguarding of Industries Bill, and, if time should not permit to-morrow, then on Wednesday, after the discussion of the Supplementary Estimates for Members' Expenses.

Motion made, and Question put, "That the Proceedings on Consideration of the Housing Bill, as amended, and of the Committees on Housing (Scotland) [Grants], Overseas Trade [Credits and Insurances], and Finance [Consolidated Fund] be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House."—[Mr. Chamberlain.]
