§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDMay I ask the Prime Minister whether he has any modification of this week's business to announce?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is proposed to allow the extra half-day for the Second Reading of the Economy Bill, and take it at 8.15 on Wednesday. After the Economy Bill has been disposed of, we propose to take the following business: the Report stage of the Civil Service Excess Vote, the Third Readings of the Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland) and Trade Facilities Bills, and the Second Reading of the Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Bill. On Thursday we shall take the Civil Service Vote on Account in Committee and not on Report stage as announced last Thursday. The Debate, as I understand, will be as then arranged on the Committee stage of the Ministry of Labour Estimate.
§ Mr. MacDONALDWill there be any objection to the Third Reading of the Trade Facilities Bill being taken before the Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland) Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think so.
§ Mr. HARRISWill the Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Bill be included in Wednesday evening?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes.
§ Mr. HARRISThat does not seem to give much time.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think it is as serious as the hon. Member thinks.
§
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, 226; Noes, 88.
