Mr. MACPHERSON

Does the Prime Minister propose to take the discussion on the Resolution for the Additional Judges before Christmas?

I am afraid I cannot answer that question yet. I cannot say anything about the time.

What other business will be taken on Wednesday if the Lords throw out the Prayer Book Measure?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think we might wait.
