§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDWould the Prime Minister be good enough to tell us what business it is proposed to take on Thursday, and whether any arrangement has been reached with regard to sitting on Friday?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Government propose to allot Thursday to the discussion of a Motion of Censure relating to Unemployment, to be moved by the Opposition.
§ I think it would be in accord with the general wish of the House that we should not meet on Friday, but I hope that the House will allow us to secure the Third Reading of the Criminal Justice Bill and the Tithe Bill after 11 o'clock on Thursday. If treated as non-controversial, we might also get the Second Reading of the Education (Scotland) Bill.
§ Sir HENRY CRAIKIn spite of the very strong support of the Education (Scotland) Bill by hon. Members opposite would my right hon. Friend bear in mind that very large principles are involved in that Bill, and that there is great division of opinion among many people regarding it?
Captain BENNCan the right hon. Gentleman say what business it is proposed to take if the Motion to suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule is carried this afternoon. Does he proper to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule to-morrow in order to get the two Third Readings mentioned?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe shall proceed with the Rating and Valuation Bill to-day.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI think so— yes.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
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.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 285: Noes, 126.
