§ Mr. STANLEY BALDWINMay I ask the Prime Minister if it is proposed to withdraw the Financial Resolution which we debated yesterday, and to substitute a new one; if so, when will it be put down?
§ The PRIME MINISTERA revised Money Resolution to the Coal Mines Bill will be placed on the Order Paper tonight. I understand that it is to be in an agreed form—[Interruption.] I have only been able to make inquiries as to what was intended, and the intention is to come to an agreement as to the wording of the Resolution in accordance with what happened yesterday in the House. In accordance with the understanding reached yesterday afternoon, it is proposed to take the revised Resolution as the first Order to-morrow.
§ Mr. BALDWINPerhaps the right hon. Gentleman will allow us, through the usual channels, to see the Resolution.
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes.
§ Mr. BALDWINThe right hon. Gentleman has quite correctly stated the agreement that was arrived at yesterday.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI asked that this should be done, and I was informed that there was so little chance of any disagreement, that I could quite safely announce this in the form which I had used.
§ Sir PHILIP CUNLIFFE-LISTERProvided, of course, the Prime Minister can give an assurance that the Resolution is wide enough to carry all the Amendments on the Paper.
Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI understand that an opportunity will be given to see the Resolution before it is put down; that will be a great help. The right hon. 997 Gentleman has stated the arrangement very fairly.
§ The PRIME MINISTERAccording to my request, the Resolution will be shown before it is put down, and it will be put down in an agreed form.
