§ The PRIME MINISTERWe propose to take the Rating and Valuation Bill. I understand there is a general desire that the Mining Industry (Welfare Fund) Bill —which, I believe, is not opposed—should be taken to-night, and if it is agreeable to the House, we shall take it.
§
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)."—(The Prime Minister.]
