§ Mr. CLYNESMay I ask the Prime Minister if he will announce the business for next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Bill— Committee.
§ On Thursday: Finance Bill— Second Reading.
§ The Government reserve to themselves the right to put down any Motion that may be necessary on any day.
§ Mr. CLYNESWith regard to the Prime Minister's concluding announcement, is it not unusual for the Government to make such an announcement? Have the Government not the power on any day to put down any Motion, and, therefore, would the Prime Minister reveal a little more fully to the House what is the intention behind that statement?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is a little unusual to mention it in that form, but
§ I was anxious, if the Government should decide in the course of the week to put down any particular Motion, that they should not be charged with having taken the House unawares.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask if the Government have come to any conclusion as to private Members' time, and, if so, could we have the earliest possible notice of it for the convenience of the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, Sir; if the Government had come to any conclusion, they would not have given notice in the way in which they have.
§ Major CRAWFURDCan the right hon. Gentleman tell us when the Government propose to take the Division on the Second Reading of the Finance Bill, and how many days it is proposed to give to it?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROne day.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Bill have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."— [The Prime Minister.]
