§ Mr. CLYNESMay I ask the Prime Minister if he will state the business for next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe business next week will be:
- On Monday and Tuesday, Finance Bill—Committee.
- On Wednesday, Opposition Motion of Censure on the Government relating to the House of Lords.
- On Thursday, Supply, Committee: Foreign Office Vote (on which a Debate on Disarmament will take place).
§ On Friday, Supply, Committee: India Office Vote.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill the Government be able to state their intentions on Wednesday with regard to the House of Lords?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is a very short time to wait until Wednesday.
§ Mr. THURTLECan the Prime Minister say whether there is any truth in the rumour that the Government intend to refuse to give battle next Wednesday?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am afraid I did not hear the hon. Gentleman's question. I ought to have added the usual phrase, "On each day, if time permit, other Orders will be taken."
§ Motion made, and Question put, "That other Government Business have precedence this day of the Business of Supply."—[The Prime Minister.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 224; Noes, 112.
