§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDWill the Prime Minister kindly tell us what is to be the business next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)The business will be:
Monday: The Chancellor of the Exchequer will open his Budget.
Tuesday and Wednesday: General discussion on the Budget Resolutions.
Thursday: Motion for the Easter Adjournment until Tuesday, 26th April.
§ We hope to get the remaining stages of the Pacific Cable Bill during the week.
§ Mr. MacDONALDOn what day does the right hon. Gentleman propose to make his statement regarding the franchise?
§ The PRIME MINISTERTo be on the safe side, I would say on Thursday.
§ Mr. MacDONALDWill the right hon. Gentleman reconsider that, in view of the fact that Thursday is always a sort of tailing-off day, when a great many hon. Members of all parties have gone, could he not make the statement on one of the previous days of next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI will take that suggestion into consideration.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That on Tuesday, 12th, and on Wednesday, 13th April, Government Business do have precedence."—(The Prime Minister.)
