§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDMight I ask the Prime Minister what business he proposes to take to-day if he gets his Resolution for the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI should like to take the first three Orders.
§ Mr. MacDONALDIf the right hon. Gentleman gets his Resolution, as I dare say he will, could he not also consider taking the fourth Order, the University of London Bill, which is, I am informed, to all intents and purposes an agreed Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERCertainly, I shall be very glad to do so. I was not so ambitious in my estimate.
§
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, 179; Noes, 81.
