§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINMay I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as Leader of the House for the time being, how far he proposes to go to-night?
Mr. SNOWDENMy right hon. Friend is asking for the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule in order to get the Second Reading of the Road Traffic Bill, and the Financial Resolution for the Mental Treatment Bill—
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINDoes the right hon. Gentleman really think it reasonable that, in addition to taking the Second Reading of the Bill in a single day, he should ask the House to sit after Eleven in order to take the Money Resolution? If he does, I beg to enter my immediate protest, and to say that I shall stay to oppose the Resolution.
§ Mr. E. BROWNWas there not an arrangement that we should have a day and a half for these two matters?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINMay I press the right hon. Gentleman for a reply if he can give it? I feel strongly that the Government are not treating the House fairly.
Commander Sir BOLTON EYRES MONSELLAre His Majesty's Opposition to be subjected to the same dragooning tactics that we experienced last night?
Mr. SNOWDENSurely, there is no need for this outburst of temper. We desire to get the Second Reading of the Road Traffic Bill and the Report stage of the Money Resolution for the Mental Treatment Bill. —
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI did not hear that.
Mr. SNOWDENI believe I did say it was the Mental Treatment Bill. That, I understand, is a minor matter, and we do not ask for anything further to-night.
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI must interpose to say I did not catch the right hon. Gentleman's words. I was speaking under a misapprehension.
§ Colonel ASHLEYIs it proposed to take the Instruction in the name of the Minister of Transport?
Mr. SNOWDENNo, it is not intended to take that. Our present intention is that it should be taken as the first business on Thursday.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
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 Chancellor of the Exchequer.]
