HC Deb 27 July 1926 vol 198 cc1917-21
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD

Could the Prime Minister tell us what business he proposes to take on Friday?

The PRIME MINISTER

The continuation of the Emergency Regulations.

Mr. MacDONALD

Could we be told if there is any change in the procedure of bringing these Regulations before us, or is it just the usual method of the Royal Message?

The PRIME MINISTER

Following the precedent of 1921, we propose only discussing the Emergency Regulations.

Mr. MacDONALD

Will it be done in such a way that we can have a general discussion—a sort of Committee stage—on the Regulations?

The PRIME MINISTER

That must rest with Mr. Speaker.

Captain BENN

Will the usual opportunity be afforded to move Amendments to leave out some of the Regulations?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, certainly.

Captain BENN

Could the right hon. Gentleman say when the Committee stage of the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill will be continued?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid I cannot, but certainly not to-night.

Motion made, and Question put, That the Proceedings on the Mining, Industry Bill and on the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill 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, 263; Noes, 119.
