§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDWill the Prime Minister be good enough to tell us what business he proposes to take next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTEROn Monday, Supply, Committee (10th allotted day). I understand that the Opposition wish to discuss the question of the cable services and the beam, and we shall proceed with the appropriate Vote. I am not quite sure which it is. I think I ought to remind them of what has, I understand, been conveyed to them already—that, so far as the discussions of the Imperial Conference are concerned, we cannot make any statement about that until they have concluded their deliberations. I have made inquiries, and it may be another month. I will, however, put down the requisite Vote, and I only ask the Leader of the Opposition to bear that fact in mind. I should also say that at the request of the Opposition it is proposed to take the Home Office Prisons Vote afterwards, as a second Supply Service.
1223 On Tuesday, we shall take the Second Reading of the Administration of Justice Bill [Lords] and the Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution; the Second Reading of the Superannuation (Diplomatic Service) Bill and of the Straits Settlements and Johore Territorial Waters (Agreement) Bill [Lords].
On Wednesday, the Report and Third Reading of the National Health Insurance Bill, and further progress with the Reorganisation of Offices (Scotland) Bill.
On Thursday, we shall take the Motion for the Whitsuntide Adjournment until Tuesday, 5th June. The state of public business will not allow us to adjourn any longer. For the information of the House, I may mention that the business to be taken on Tuesday, 5th June, will be the Second Reading of the Finance Bill.
On any day, if there be time, other Orders will be taken.
§ Mr. MacDONALDI suppose we may take it that on Thursday the House will meet at 11 o'clock?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes.
§ Sir R. HUTCHISONWill the House have any information as to the Government's proposals on rating before the Second Reading of the Finance Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI rather doubt it. I would like to have notice of that question. I do not think the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be back in his place before Whitsuntide. He ought to take another week's rest.
§ Sir R. HUTCHISONDoes not the right hon. Gentleman realise that it is almost impossible to discuss the Second Reading of the Finance Bill unless we have the necessary information on the rating proposals?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, I do not see the strength of that point.
§ Sir B. PETOWith regard to the Racecourse Betting Bill, which is now being discussed in Committee upstairs, would the right hon. Gentleman consider the possibility of allowing a little time to give Members of that Committee an opportunity of attending a racecourse on Wednesday?
§ Mr. STEPHENIs there only going to be one day for the Second Reading of the Finance Bill?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat is the usual time allowed.
§ Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIRDoes not the Prime Minister realise that the difficulty of discussing the Second Reading of the Finance Bill, without some information about the rating proposals, arises from the fact that taxation is being imposed this year which is not being expended this year, but is being held up in order to meet the needs of the rating scheme of the Government?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI think enough has been explained to enable hon. Members to judge whether or not they would support such a proposal.
§ Mr. SNOWDENHas the Prime Minister forgotten that the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a very definite statement that the Valuation Bill would be brought forward as soon as the Budget Resolutions were passed, and that is a fortnight ago?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes, I remember him making that statement. I have been in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health and we fully expect the Bill to be published before the Recess, so that hon. Members may study it during the Recess.
§
The following Notice of Motion stood upon the Order Paper in the name of the PRIME MINISTER:
That the Proceedings on the Currency and Bank Notes Bill and the Bankers (Northern Ireland) Bill have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House).
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYOn a point of Order. Am I right in supposing that this Notice of Motion contains two separate questions, and that they should be put separately?
§ Mr. SPEAKERIf hon. Members claim to have the Motion put as two separate Motions, I will put two questions.
Motion made, and Question put, "That the Proceedings on the Currency and Bank Notes Bill and the Bankers 1225 (Northern Ireland) Bill have precedence this day of the Business of Supply."—[The Prime Minister.]
