§ Mr. BALDWINWould the Deputy-Leader of the House please inform us how far he proposes to proceed to-night?
§ The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Mr. Clynes)We propose to ask the House to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule. Our intention was to take five Orders, but we understand it would meet the convenience of the House if, say, at 11 o'clock, the London Traffic Bill were not completed, that we should move that further con-
§ sideration of that Bill be adjourned and proceed with and complete the following three Orders on the Paper.
§ Mr. HOPEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the China Indemnity (Application) Bill is by no means regarded as non-contentious?
§ Mr. CLYNESI am aware that there is some difference of opinion on the matter, but not sufficient to keep the House very long.
§ Viscount CURZONSupposing the London Traffic Bill is not finished by 11 o'clock, is it the intention of the Government to put it down on a subsequent occasion?
§ Mr. CLYNESCertainly, at an early date.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted at this clay's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House,)"—[Mr. Clynes.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 158; Noes, 114.
