HC Deb 10 July 1924 vol 175 cc2468-9
Mr. BALDWIN

Would the Lord Privy Seal kindly state what business is to be taken next week?

Mr. CLYNES

The business will be:

Monday: Supply, Foreign Office Vote.

Tuesday: Finance Bill, Report.

Wednesday and Thursday Housing (Financial Provisions) Bill, Committee.

Friday: Unemployment Insurance (No. 2) Bill, Report and Third Reading.

On Thursday the Government propose to move the suspension of the Eleven o'clock Rule in order to advance some of the minor Measures on the Paper, an announcement as to which will be made later.

Mr. PRINGLE

Is it intended to suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule for the Housing Bill?

Mr. CLYNES

That is not our intention at present.

Mr. STURROCK

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us any indication as to how long the Sudan debate is likely to take to-day, and how long we shall be allowed for discussion of the question of claims for damage done by the enemy?

Mr. CLYNES

I think the Sudan debate could be concluded at about 8.15. I have, however, no power officially to determine the fact.

Mr. H. H. SPENCER

May I ask a question—it is causing very great anxiety in some parts of the country—as to the progress of the Bill dealing with Old Ago Pensions?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member should attend to the business of the House. The Bill to which he refers is fixed for to-morrow.
