§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Commander Eyres Monsell)The Prime Minister has been called out of the House for a moment, and perhaps I may be allowed to answer.
§ On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we shall take the second, third and fourth Allotted Days in Committee on the Local Government Bill.
§ On Thursday, we hope to take the Motion for the Christmas Adjournment.
§ On any other day, if there is time, other Orders will be taken.
§ Mr. HENDERSONMay I ask whether the Parliamentary Secretary is in a position to say when the House will resume after the Christmas Recess?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI apologise for not being here when the right hon. Member put his question regarding business. With regard to his last question, I would rather not say anything at the moment, but I hope to be in a position to give him a definite reply on Monday, if he will put the question then.
