§ Mr. STANLEY BALDWINMay I ask the Prime Minister what business he proposes to take after Eleven o'Clock to-night in the event of the Motion which stands in his name on the Order Paper being carried?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)I should like very much to take no business at all after Eleven, but the first four Orders of the Day might, I think, be obtained without any unduly late sitting.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI think that the first four Orders of the Day are of such a nature that we can get through them without an unduly late sitting.
§ Mr. BALDWINWould the right hon. Gentleman say when the Public Works Loans Bill will be further considered?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat will have to be taken next week.
§
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 Prime Minister.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 245; Noes, 134.
