HC Deb 13 March 1928 vol 214 cc1726-9
Mr. CLYNES

Before the Motion for the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule is put, may I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what business the Government intend to take to-night in the event of the Motion being agreed to?

Mr. CHURCHILL

We desire to obtain the Second Reading of the Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Bill, and also the remaining stages of the British Guiana Bill. That is all that we have to do.

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)."—[Mr. Churchill.]

The House divided: Ayes, 226; Noes, 133.
