§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDWill the Prime Minister say what is to be the business for next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, the Second Reading of the Rating and Valuation Bill, and resumption of the adjourned Debate on the Second Reading of the Reorganisation of Offices (Scotland) Bill and the Committee stage of the Money Resolution.
On Tuesday, the Second Reading of the British Guiana Bill and of the Petroleum (Amendment Bill), and the Committee stage of the Superannuation (Diplomatic Service) Money Resolution.
On Thursday, it is proposed to move Mr. Speaker out of the Chair on the Army Estimates, and consider Votes A, 1, 10, 13, 14 and 15 in Committee.
If time permit on any day, other Orders will be taken.
§ Mr. MACLEANWill not the right hon. Gentleman arrange to transfer to Tuesday the business which he has put down for Monday? A number of the Scottish Members will be travelling down on Monday. They have the greatest distance to travel in order to get to this House, and yet Scottish business is to be taken on Monday immediately after Questions.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think it is at all likely that the adjourned Debate on the Scottish Bill will be reached early. I think it will give hon. Members ample time to get down.
§ Mr. R. MORRISONCan the Prime Minister tell the House when it will be possible to take the Second Reading of the Franchise Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot give the date. I have said that I hoped it would be taken before we adjourn for the Easter Recess, but I cannot yet give the date.
