§ Sir DONALD MACLEANWill the Leader of the House say what business is to be taken next week?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINOn Monday, we propose to take the Second Reading of the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill;
On Tuesday, the Third Reading of the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill;
On Wednesday, the Unemployment Insurance Bill, Second Reading, and the East India Loans (Railways and Irriga- 679 tion) Bill. If any further time is available on that day we shall take the Diseases of Animals Bill, Second Reading, and the Representation of the People (No. 2) Bill, Second Reading. The last-named is not such a formidable Bill as it sounds.
Thursday will be allotted to Supply, and I will make a statement later, when arrangements have been made in the usual way as to what Supply is to be taken.
On Friday, we shall take the East India Loans (Railways and Irrigation) Bill, further stages of the Diseases of Animals Bill, and the Second Reading of the Summer Time Bill.
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the time proposed for the Summer Time Bill is totally inadequate?
§ Colonel GRETTONWill the right hon. Gentleman inform the House what business is to be taken to-morrow?
§ Geddes Committee, especially as it affects education, may I suggest that the Education Vote be put down for Thursday next?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINWould the hon. Gentleman settle through the usual channels with other Gentlemen who sit on the Opposition side what Vote they would like taken? Then we will put that Vote down. As to to-morrow, there is no alteration in the programme announced. We want to conclude all the financial business which is necessary for the introduction of the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill.
§ Mr. G. BARNESWhen may we expect the return of the Irish Free State (Agreement) Bill?
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the Reports of the Committee of Supply of 21st March and 20th March and the Proceedings of the Committees of Supply and Ways and Means be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Mr. Chamberlain.]
