Mr. J. RAMSAY MacDONALDWould the Prime Minister tell the House what business it is proposed to take next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe business proposed is:
On Monday, we shall move the Speaker out of the Chair on the Navy Estimates. As I understand that a Private Bill is set down for discussion at 8.15 p.m., I think it will be necessary to move the suspension of the 11 o'clock Rule, as, in addition to moving the Speaker out of the Chair, we must take Vote A and Vote 1 in Committee.
Tuesday: Civil Services Estimates, Vote on Account; Report.
Wednesday: We shall move the Speaker out of the Chair on the Air Estimates, Votes A, 1, 4, 2 and 3.
Thursday: We shall move the Speaker out of the Chair on the Army Estimates, Vote A and Vote on Account.
§ Sir K. WOODMay I ask the Prime Minister whether, as he has promised that copies of the Rent. Bill will be available for Members this week, the Second Reading will be taken before Easter?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, Sir. Certain changes are taking place which make that impossible.
