BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. (Hansard, 4 March 1926)

§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD
Will the Prime Minister be good enough to tell us what business he proposes to take next week?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
On Monday we will take the Motion to take Private Members' time on certain evenings: the Report stage of the Air Estimates, Votes A, 1, 4, 2 and 3.
Tuesday: We shall take the Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland Agreement) Bill, Second Reading; Supplementary Estimate for Northern Ireland Grant-in-Aid, in Committee; Trade Facilities Bill, Committee; and, if time permit, other business on the Paper; while at 8.15 there are Private Members' Motions.
Wednesday: We shall take the Report stage of the Supplementary Estimates for the Ministry of Labour and Northern Ireland Grant-in-Aid; Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland Agreement) Bill, Committee; Trade Facilities Bill, further stages; and other business on the Paper, if time permit. At a quarter-past eight, there are Private Members' Motions.
Thursday: We propose to move Mr. Speaker out of the Chair on the Navy Estimates, and consider Votes A, 1, 10, and 2 in Committee. The Navy Estimates, I hope, will be available in the Vote Office to-morrow.

§ Mr. MacDONALD
Referring to Thursday's business, I understand that the Economy Bill is then to be introduced. There is some doubt about the circumstances in which it will be introduced. Is it the intention of the Government simply to hand it in at the Table, or to move for leave to introduce it?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
I understand it is to be handed in at the Table.

§ Mr. MacDONALD
Further, may I ask, supposing the Debate to-day should end before a quarter-past eight, what business do the Government propose to take?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
Supposing the Debate does end before 8.15, I propose to proceed with the Orders as they stand on the Paper. The first Order is the Ministry of Labour.
