§ Mr. CLYNESWith regard to the Motion on the Paper to suspend the Eleven O'clock Rule, may I ask, before it is put from the Chair, that the Prime Minister should give the House some information as to why this Motion has been put down. [Interruption.] Before the Committee stage is entered upon is it not unusual, if not unprecedented, to make such a Motion on so important a Bill, and does it not justify the protests from this side of the House against this early use of superior numbers?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWhat has often been done before— I do not know whether the right hon. Gentleman is aware of it— has been to put down a guillotine Motion before the Committee stage was entered upon at all. Having 383 regard to the condition of the Order Paper, I think it a wise precaution to put this Motion down, not with any intention of sitting late to-night, but thinking that it might facilitate discussion as the evening went on.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Bill be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 250; Noes, 132.
