§ 49. Sir DOUGLAS NEWTONasked the Prime Minister if he will state on which Friday after the Recess he will grant facilities for the consideration of the Live Stock Clubs Bill and what place it will be given on the Order Paper of such Friday?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI indicated before the Division on Friday last that the Friday which under paragraph (2) of Standing Order No. 4 is allotted to Private Members in lieu of Friday, 20th December, would be balloted for. I am now informed that two hon. Members who were successful in the ballot held at the end of October have already selected 21st March—the Friday in question—for the Second Reading of the Shops (Hours of Employment) Bill and the Seditious and Blasphemous Teaching of Children Bill respectively. I am afraid that the Government cannot at present undertake to give special facilities for the Live Stock Clubs Bill.
