Captain W. BENN

I wish to ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury whether this is one of the Votes the Prime Minister said this afternoon would be taken. I thought there were to be four, but this seems to be the fifth Question that you, Captain FitzRoy, have put from the Chair.

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Colonel Leslie Wilson)

The first Vote put was Vote A. Then come Votes 1, 4, 2 and 3.

Captain BENN

Then this is the last? It is included in those mentioned by the Prime Minister?

Colonel WILSON

It is.

Captain BENN

Very well.

Resolutions to be reported To-morrow; Committee to sit again To-morrow.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.

It being after Half-past Eleven of the Clock upon Wednesday evening, Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER adjourned the House, without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.

Adjourned at Twenty-seven Minutes after Twelve o' Clock.
