§ Mr. LANSBURYWill the right hon. Gentleman the Lord President of the Council say how far he intends to go if the second Resolution of which he has given notice is carried?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe second Resolution is in order to get Ways and Means (Committee), which is quite formal, Second Reading of the Irish Free State (Special Duties) Bill, and the Committee stage of the Extradition Bill.
§ Mr. DEVLINIn view of the possibilities of some settlement being arrived at by negotiation in regard to this difficulty with Ireland, will the right hon. Gentleman withdraw this Bill?
§ Mr. BALDWINNo, I am afraid I cannot do that.
