§ Mr. MACKENZIE LIVINGSTONEIs it intended to proceed with the Sheriff Courts and Legal Officers (Scotland) Bill before the Recess?
§ Sir J. GILMOURNo, Sir; I am introducing that Bill to-day, but I am afraid there is no hope of proceeding with it before the Recess.
Mr. ALEXANDERIn view of the unsatisfactory answer which has been given to Question No. 11, I wish to give notice that I shall raise this subject on the Motion for the Adjournment at the earliest possible moment.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay we be informed what business it is proposed to take after Eleven o'clock if the Motion standing in the name of the Prime Minister be carried?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Commander Eyres Monsell)We propose to take Orders Nos. 5, 6, and 7: The Second Reading of the Telegraph (Money) Bill, the Third Reading of the Diseases of Animals Bill, and the Report stage of the National Library of Scotland [Money] Resolution.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs it proposed to take all the Supply Votes which are down as well?
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That this day, notwithstanding anything in Standing Order No. 15, Business
249
