HC Deb 21 February 1929 vol 225 c1312
Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALD

Will the Prime Minister be good enough to tell us what business will be taken next week?

The PRIME MINISTER

On Monday: Local Government (Scotland) Bill, Committee (9th allotted day).

Tuesday: Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland Agreement), Money Resolution, Committee; Pensions (Governors of Dominions, etc.) Bill, Second Reading; Indian High Courts Bill, Second Reading. At half-past seven, Private Business, the London Traffic Bills.

Wednesday: Civil and Revenue Departments Vote on Account, Committee stage. A Debate will take place on the Ministry of Labour Estimate.

Thursday: It is proposed to move Mr. Speaker out of the Chair on the Army Estimates and consider Votes A, 1, 10, 13, 14, 15, and a Supplementary Estimate in Committee.

The business for Friday will be announced late.

If there is time on any day other Orders will be taken.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

May I ask what is the Supplementary Estimate which is on the Paper?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid I cannot say.

Mr. STEPHEN

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication when the Supplementary Estimate that was withdrawn will be taken again?

The PRIME MINISTER

Well, there does not seem to be a day provided for Supplementary Estimates here. I should think that it would be some time after these Orders have been disposed of.

Mr. STEPHEN

Does that mean that as yet the Cabinet have not come to any agreement with regard to what they are going to do in the matter.

The PRIME MINISTER

The Cabinet is always in agreement.
