§ Commander EYRES-MONSELLMay I ask the Deputy-Leader of the House how many Orders the Government intend to take to-night in the event of the Motion standing in the name of the Prime Minister, to suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule, being carried?
§ Mr. CLYNESIt is intended to take the Orders on the Paper from the first to No. 8 inclusive. [HON. MEMBERS: "Oh!"]
§ Mr. J. JONESNo grouse shooting for you this time!
§ Mr. CLYNESAs I stated previously, and as, I think, experience will disclose, most of these Orders are of a Departmental character and non-controversial. Should these Orders be concluded before Eleven o'clock, the Government would not ask the House to sit after No. 8. To that, I might add that I understand it is the desire on Thursday, in reference to Scottish Estimates, to take the following Estimates, namely, Board of Agriculture, Scotland; Public Education, Scotland; Scottish Board of Health; and Register House, Edinburgh.
§ Mr. MACPHERSONWill those Votes be taken in that order?
§ Mr. CLYNES:Yes.
§
Ordered,
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. Clynes.]
