HC Deb 28 July 1931 vol 255 cc2108-9
Mr. STANLEY BALDWIN

May I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what business he proposes to take to-night?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

It is proposed to-night to dispose of the Local Government (Clerks) Bill, the Motion relating to Greenwich Hospital and Travers' Foundation, and the Gas and Electricity Orders on the Paper. If a communication is received from another place relating to the Agricultural Land (Utilisation) Bill and the Smallholders and Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Bill this afternoon, we propose to consider those Measures to-night.

Motion made, and Question put, That this day, notwithstanding anything in Standing Order No. 1.5, Business other than the Business of Supply may be taken before Eleven of the Clock, and that the Proceedings on Government Business other than the Business of Supply be exempted, at this day's sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Mr. P. Snowden.]
