HC Deb 14 May 1926 vol 195 cc1093-4
Mr. MacDONALD

May we know what the business is going to be for next week? I understood it was left open on Thursday.

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Commander Eyres Monsell)

Monday will be a Supply Day and we shall take the Board of Trade Vote, which has been put down by the Liberal party.

Tuesday will be another Supply Day and will be a Labour party day, and the Vote which has been put down is that for the Ministry of Health, Relief of Unemployment.

On Wednesday we hope to be able to take the Finance Bill. I understand there has been some slight difficulty in getting the Bill printed, but I hope that will be overcome by Monday.

Mr. MacDONALD

Supposing the Finance Bill is not ready, the Wednesday arrangements will be varied?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

Not necessarily.

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am not aware of all the business on the Orders of the Day, but if we proceed with the expedition with which business has been discharged during the past two or three days, and the House comes to an end of these Orders, may I take it there will be an adjournment so as to give the Prime Minister an opportunity, at any rate up to four o'clock, to make a statement?

Commander EYRES MONSELL

If the House comes to an end of the business, as it may, at an early hour, I think we can arrange by having a Count of the House to have the House adjourned.
