HC Deb 10 December 1926 vol 200 c2431
Captain WEDGWOOD BENN

May I ask a question about business? The Prime Minister said yesterday that on Tuesday there would be a discussion on necessitous areas. May I ask the Chief Whip what will be the form of the Question that will be put to the House on that occasion?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Commander Eyres Monsell

That is in the hands of the Opposition.

Captain BENN

Will it be possible to raise any other topic on that motion?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

I think not.

Captain BENN

Would the right hon. Gentleman consider the possibility of giving some little time to the discussion of the question of mandates? Would it not be possible to frame the Motion in such a form as to permit anyone who wished to raise another subject to do so?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

will certainly consider that.
