HC Deb 22 July 1930 vol 241 cc1943-7
Mr. STANLEY BALDWIN

May I ask the Prime Minister how far the Government intend to go with the business on the Order Paper to-day?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is the intention to take the first four items on the Order Paper.

Mr. BALDWIN

May I ask whether the Prime Minister has any information to give the House regarding the business for to-morrow; whether he has decided to introduce the London Naval Treaty Bill, or whether it will be postponed until the Autumn?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have made further inquiries about that Bill, and, in the circumstances, I think it would be very advisable to take it to-morrow, especially after the ratification of the

Treaty yesterday by the United States Senate. Therefore, we propose to take that Bill; and, in view of the debate yesterday, the ground has been so well covered that the consideration of the Bill on Second Reading might be reasonably brief. Might I also say, with regard to the Public Works (Loans) Bill and the Public Works Facilities Bill, which will be the Third and Fourth Orders on the Paper to-morrow, that I understand some representations have been made to the effect that, if the order of these two Bills was exchanged, it would be more convenient to the House. If that is so, that alteration will be made.

Mr. BALDWIN

I hope the right hon. Gentleman will see his way to make that alteration.

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes.

Mr. BALDWIN

The only other question is, what Orders are to be put on the Paper for Thursday? I think that question was left open.

The PRIME MINISTER

The Board of Trade Vote will be taken 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 Prime Minister.]

The House divided: Ayes, 239; Noes, 132.
