HC Deb 13 May 1926 vol 195 cc977-8
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD

Would the Prime Minister kindly indicate the course of business to-day?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

At the request of the Opposition, it is proposed to report Progress in Committee of Supply, and to move the Adjournment of the House at 6.30, in order that a discussion on the situation may take place until 8.15, at which hour a Private Bill is set down for consideration.

Mr. MacDONALD

Can we now have the business for to-morrow and next week?

The PRIME MINISTER

The business will be

To-morrow: Electricity (Supply) Money Resolution in Committee; Second Reading of Local Government (County Boroughs and Adjustments) Bill; Police Pensions Bill; Lead Paint (Protection against Poisoning) Bill.

Monday and Tuesday: Supply, Committee.

Wednesday: Second Reading of Finance Bill.

Mr. MacDONALD

With reference to the announcement just made, I understand that there has been an agreement that if it be necessary to adjourn the Debate to-night, and to continue it tomorrow, there will be no objection to that, course being pursued?

The PRIME MINISTER

I hope in that case it may be possible to get one or two of the small non-contentious Bills through to-morrow.
