§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDWill the Prime Minister tell us how far he proposes to go to-night in the even of his receiving a suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe hope to get the Committee stage of the two chief Votes to-night, and I hope very much, by consent, the House will be willing to give us the Money Resolution relating to the Croydon Aerodrome Bill, of which they were good enough to allow us to get the Second Reading the other day. If there is any desire for discussion, of course, we will not press it. It is in connection with a Bill which has been referred to a Select Committee.
§ Mr. MacDONALDCan the Prime Minister say when he intends to give the House an opportunity of discussing the Government's policy regarding the Protocol, as announced by the Foreign Secretary at Geneva last week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI suggest that the Second Reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill would provide a suitable opportunity for this discussion.
§ Mr. MacDONALDWhen will that be?
§ The PRIME MINISTERTo-morrow week.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
