HC Deb 06 February 1929 vol 224 c1790
Mr. CLYNES

Can the Prime Minister announce the business for Friday?

The PRIME MINISTER

We shall take the Local Government (Scottish) Bill, 5th Allotted Day, and other Orders if there is time.

Mr. SHINWELL

Does the Prime Minister realise- the peculiar position in which the Scottish Members stand, seeing that they have to travel long distances to their homes and constituencies, and that Friday is not a congenial day for the discussion of the Local Government (Scot-land) Bill? Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will consider the representations which I understand have been made to him, with a view to relieving the Scottish Members of discussion of the Bill on Friday.

The PRIME MINISTER

There is bound to be a certain amount of inconvenience of that kind, but I would remind the hon. Member that we are not taking the Scottish business on Monday.
