§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Lord President of the Council what business will be taken on Friday?
§ The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Baldwin)In addition to the Second Reading of the Transitional Payments Prolongation (Unemployed. Persons) Bill, which has already been announced, it is proposed to consider the following Orders: Committee stage of a Money Resolution relating to the Children and Young Persons Bill, which will appear on the Order Paper tomorrow; Second Reading of the Chancel Repairs Bill [Lords]; Second Reading of the Universities (Scotland) Bill [Lords]; Report and Third Reading of the Grey 146 Seals Protection Bill [Lords]; and, should there be time, other Orders on the Paper.
§ Mr. MAXTONIn regard to the business, which is of very secondary importance, would the Leader of the House consider whether it is not now an opportune time for restoring private Members' time?
§ Mr. BALDWINI think that we might wait and see what happens. There is a good deal to be done, and the Second Reading of the Bill which is down as the first Order may very well take the whole day.
