The following Motion stood upon the Order Paper in the name of the PRIME MINISTER: That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House).

Mr. STANLEY BALDWIN

I desire to ask the Prime Minister what is the object of the Motion that stands in his name?

The PRIME MINISTER

Only to secure the determination of the first Order.

Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

May I ask the Prime Minister whether he can give us a. day to discuss the importation of convict-made goods from Russia?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is quite unnecessary, and quite impossible at the same time.

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, 197; Noes, 103.
