HC Deb 19 February 1931 vol 248 cc1461-5
Mr. STANLEY BALDWIN

Can the Prime Minister say what business will be taken next week and what business will be taken to-night in the event of the Motion on the Order Paper being carried?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will answer the second question first. We propose to take only the business that has been announced—the first four items on the Order Paper. With regard to the busi-

ness for next week, it may seem rather a formidable list of Supplementary Estimates, but a great many of them have no substance.

On Monday, the following Supplementary Estimates will be taken in Committee: Labour and Health Buildings; Revenue Buildings; Royal Parks; Public Buildings, Great Britain; Public Buildings, Overseas—that is a revised Estimate; Works and Buildings, Northern Ireland. We shall also take the Unemployment Insurance (No. 2) Bill, Third Reading.

Tuesday: Supplementary Estimates: House of Commons; Government Hospitality Fund; Public Works Loan Commission; Law Charges; Rates on Government Property; Royal Irish Constabulary Pensions; and Report stage of the Votes taken on the 19th and 23rd February.

Wednesday: Supplementary Estimates: Beet-Sugar Subsidy, Great Britain; Old Age Pensions; Stationery and Printing; Diplomatic and Consular Services; Australian Zinc Concentrates; and Report of Estimates taken on the 24th February.

Thursday: Supplementary Estimates: Ministry of Pensions and outstanding Votes.

Friday: Private Members' Bills.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

In the event of time being available, will other Orders be taken?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes.

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 Rouses)."—[The Prime Minister.]

The House divided: Ayes, 242; Noes, 141.
