Mr. J. RAMSAY MacDONALD

Can the Chancellor of the Exchequer say how far he proposes to go with the business tonight in the event of his getting the suspension of the Eleven o'clock rule?

Mr. BALDWIN

I propose the suspension of the Eleven o'clock rule simply by way of precaution. I hope to get the first five Orders.

Motion made, and Question put, That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order Sittings of the House."—[Mr. Baldwin.]

The House divided: Ayes, 228; Noes, 92.
