§ Mr. STANLEY BALDWINWill the Prime Minister tell us what the business will be for next week, and how far down the Order Paper he desires to go in the event of his Motion being carried?
§ The PRIME MINISTERMay I answer the second question first? The Government propose to dispose of the first three Orders on the Paper and the Overseas Trade (Guarantees) Money Resolution, which is exempted business. I understand that in regard to one of
§ these items, the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Bill, the Amendments, so far as they are down on the Paper, are practically agreed and are not therefore expected to take a great amount of time.
§ On Monday the Chancellor of the Exchequer will open his Budget.
§ On Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be a general discussion on the Budget Resolutions.
§ On Thursday, as already announced, the House will meet at Eleven o'clock, and the Motion for the Easter Adjournment until Tuesday, 29th April, will be taken.
§ Perhaps it would be for the convenience of the House if I went further and said what we propose to do when we come back. In the first week after the reassembly of Parliament, the business will be:
§ On Tuesday, 29th April; Supply (4th Allotted Day). The Vote will be announced before we rise.
§ On Wednesday, 30th April, and Thursday, 1st May, there will be the Report stage of the Budget Resolutions.
§ On Friday, 2nd May, we get the first of the extra Private Members' days after Easter.
§ As usual, I shall have to say that on any day, if time permits, other Orders may be taken.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That other Government Business have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and that the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 257; Noes, 99.
