HC Deb 18 March 1925 vol 181 cc2274-7
Mr. J. RAMSAY MacDONALD

May I ask the Prime Minister how far he proposes to go with business to-night, if the Eleven o'Clock Rule is suspended?

The PRIME MINISTER

We hope to get the first five Orders. The suspension of the Rule is necessary in order to get through Supply. We must have Supply.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]

Mr. BUCHANAN

I want to raise a point in regard to the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule.

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member cannot. I am bound to put the Motion forthwith.

Question put.

The House divided: Ayes, 286; Noes, 129.
