HC Deb 12 March 1928 vol 214 cc1522-5
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD

Can the Prime Minister tell us what business he proposes to take if he gets the suspension of the Eleven o' Clock Rule?

The PRIME MINISTER

We are proposing to suspend the Eleven o' Clock Rule in order to make sure of finishing the Committee stage of the Votes which are put down on the Air Estimates. We intend also to take the remaining stages of the Protection of Lapwings Bill and the Report stage of the Superannuation (Diplomatic Service) Money Resolution.

Motion made, and Question put, That the Proceeding on Government Business 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, 204; Noes, 97.
