§ Mr. LANSBURYWould the Prime Minister kindly state what is to be the business next week?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe business will be:—
Friday, 21st October, and Monday, 24th October: Report stage of the Financial Resolutions relating to the Ottawa Agreements.
Tuesday, 25th: Motion of Censure on the Government standing on the Order Paper in the name of the right hon. 327 Gentleman the Member for Bow and Bromley (Mr. Lansbury).
Wednesday, 26th: Ottawa Agreements Bill, Second Reading. It is proposed to conclude the Second Reading Debate at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday, and afterwards to consider a Motion to carry over the London Passenger Transport Bill until the next Session of Parliament.
Friday, 28th: Consideration of a timetable Motion for the remaining stages of the Ottawa Agreements Bill, and First Allotted Day in Committee on the Bill.
The order of next week's business has been arranged after consultation through all the usual channels. In order to provide an early opportunity for a Debate on Unemployment it has been agreed to take the time-table Motion for the Ottawa Agreements Bill as first Order on Friday, and after a brief Debate to go into Committee on the Bill.
§ On any day, if time permits, further Orders will be taken.
§ Mr. LANSBURYThe right hon. Gentleman will be aware that the Opposition have amended the Motion of Censure in order to restrict its terms, on the understanding that when the Ottawa business, which must be got through by a certain date, is disposed of, we shall be able to come back to the subject.
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes, certainly, that is the agreement, and it will be carried out.
§
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)."—[The Prime Minister.]
