§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Lord President of the Council the business for next week, and, if possible, when the House will adjourn for the Summer Recess?
§ Mr. BALDWINI expect that I shall adjourn before the House. The business for next week is:
Monday: Committee stage of a Ways and Means Resolution relating to the Irish Free State (Special Duties) Bill, and a Motion to approve the Hops Marketing Scheme, made under the Agricultural Marketing Act, 1931.
I may say that the Ways and Means Resolution will be on the Order Paper to-morrow, and it will give the House all the information that they will require for the Debate on Monday.
Tuesday: Supply, Committee [18th allotted day]. Vote for the Department of Mines; Ways and Means Resolution [4th July], Report stage; Motion to approve No. 2 Order made under the Import Duties Act, 1932.
Wednesday: Supply, Committee [19th allotted day].
If there is time other Orders will be taken.
2024 The Vote to be considered on Wednesday and the business for Thursday and Friday will be announced later.
§ Mr. MAXTONDo I understand that there will be no other White Paper or Memorandum or any other document issued on the Irish Free State matter?
§ Mr. BALDWINThat is so.
§ Mr. LANSBURYIt may perhaps have slipped the memory of the Lord President of the Council, but there was a paper issued and signed by the right hon. and gallant Member for Ripon (Major Hills) and a representative of the Irish Free State dealing with annuities. I do not know whether this is still available.
§ Mr. BALDWINI think that has been published already. It is another paper.
§ Mr. MAXTONIt is already in the Vote Office. With reference to the proposed legislation, I should imagine that the House would require some calculations, some statement, as to how the Government arrive at the sums which they are proposing in the Financial Resolution.
§ Mr. BALDWINI think that matter will be made quite clear. The House will have available as much—perhaps more—information in the Financial Resolution in regard to this matter as they have on any other Bill.
§ Mr. LANSBURYI understand that on Monday and Tuesday the House is to consider the Ways and Means Resolution?
§ Mr. BALDWINYes.
§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask when the right hon. Gentleman will be in a position to tell us when the other stages of the Bill will be considered, when the Bill founded on the Ways and Means Resolution will be brought in?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe Bill will be printed the moment the Resolution has been reported, and I will give the right hon. Gentleman and the House the information they desire at the earliest moment possible. The House must recognise that, if we are to rise as we hope before too long, there is some little difficulty in adjusting all the remaining business, but we will do our best to meet the convenience of the House.
§ Mr. BUCHANANIt must be remembered that to-morrow, Friday, is a short 2025 day, and some hon. Members who have engagements during the week-end may have to leave before they get a copy of the Financial Resolution, and, therefore, may not be able to table Amendments. Could the right hon. Gentleman arrange that the Resolution is available for hon. Members to-night, so as to enable hon. Members to put down Amendments.
§ Mr. BALDWINI always try to do what I can to meet the convenience of
§ Members, but I am afraid that I cannot promise that.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That other Government Business have precedence this day of the Business of Supply, and that the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Mr. Baldwin.]
