§ Mr. CLYNESMay I ask the Prime Minister if he will be good enough to state the business for next week, and may I also put to him a further question with regard to the Motion on the Order Paper giving precedence to Government business? In the event of that Motion being carried, may I inquire what business, if any, it is intended to take other than that which has been already announced?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)The business next week will be:
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Report stage of the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Bill.
On Thursday, the Third Reading of the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Bill.
On each day, if time permit, other Orders will be taken.
1189 On Friday, the Report stages and. Third Readings of private Members' Bills.
The Motion standing on the Order Paper in my name is to enable us to secure the Committee stage of the Crown Lands (No. 2) Bill, which is the second Order on the Paper.
§ Mr. MAXTONWith reference to the business that is to be taken after Eleven o'Clock, does the Prime Minister propose to keep the House until the early hours of the morning on the Crown Lands Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat rests with the House rather than with the Prime Minister.
§ Mr. MAXTONThere are several Amendments on the Paper to this Bill, and the matter is of some importance and interest. Should it be necessary to give adequate discussion to this Bill, does the right hon. Gentleman propose that we should continue until it is completed?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe hon. Member can always express himself with great precision, and I think he will be able so to put his points that we shall not have to sit late.
§ Mr. MAXTONI am not thinking of myself; I am thinking of the general convenience
§ of the House. I know that there may not be general interest in the Bill, but certainly there is a considerable section that is seriously interested in it, and I think it would be for the convenience of the House that hon. Members should know whether they will be called upon to vote at Three or Four o'Clock in the morning on this important matter.
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe hon. Member knows perfectly well that I cannot answer that question. I do not think that the request that the House should take the Committee stage of this Bill is an unreasonable one.
§ Mr. BATEYAre we to understand that next week we are not to have a Supply day, on which we can discuss the mining situation?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, Sir; I have already given out the business for next week.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That other Government Business have precedence this clay of the Business of Supply, and that the Proceedings on Government Business he exempted from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister."]
