Mr. CLYNESMay I ask the Prime Minister how far it is intended to proceed with the business on the Order Paper at this Sitting?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe hope to take the first seven Orders on the Paper. I understand that, on the Second Reading of the School Teachers (Superannuation) Bill, my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education will make a statement. If time permit, it may be possible to take as well Orders 8, 9 and 12. It is not intended that the House should sit late, and I hope Members will assist in expediting the various stages of the Bills on the Paper, which, I understand, are in the main non-controversial.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
