HC Deb 31 March 1930 vol 237 cc904-17

CIVIL ESTIMATES AND ESTIMATES FOR REVENUE DEPARTMENTS, 1930.

Order for Committee read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair."—[Mr. T. Kennedy.]

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I beg to ask leave to move to Report Progress.

Mr. SPEAKER

That Motion is not in order. The Motion should be, "That the Debate be now adjourned."

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I beg to move, "That the Debate be now adjourned."

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

I think the right hon. Gentleman is in too big a hurry. I moved that the Eleven o'clock Rule be suspended in respect of certain business. The House has declined to suspend the Rule; therefore, the House will go on until Eleven o'clock.

Question put, "That the Debate be now adjourned."

The House divided: Ayes. 175; Noes, 185.

Original Question again proposed.
