We propose to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule solely in order to obtain those Votes, because work cannot be proceeded with until they are passed.
Motion made, and Question put, "That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
