§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Prime Minister what will be the course of 1832 business next week, and why he is proposing the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule to-night?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)The business for next week will be as follows:
Monday: Committee stage of the Unemployment Money Resolution.
Tuesday: Second Reading of the Newfoundland Bill, and, if there is time, the Committee stage of the Agricultural Marketing Bill; Motion to approve the Potato Marketing Scheme made under the Agricultural Marketing Acts.
Wednesday: Private Members' Motions.
Thursday: The business for Thursday will be announced later.
Friday: Private Members' Bills.
On any day, if there is time, other Orders may be taken.
As regards the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule" which I am about to move, the Government desire to obtain the Committee stage of the Newfoundland Money Resolution, the Second Reading of the Agricultural Marketing Bill, and the Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution. The suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule is precautionary; the Government do not anticipate an unduly late sitting.
§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I point out that there is no provision for the Report stage of the Newfoundland Money Resolution?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe were hoping to get that to morrow, in order to facilitate the publication of the Bill. That is by agreement. The Bill, as the House knows, cannot be published until these preliminary proceedings have been completed.
§ Earl WINTERTONMay I ask what exactly the Prime Minister means when he says that he hopes to get the Report stage to-morrow? He does not propose to take any of the private Members' time?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt is by agreement.
§ Earl WINTERTONWhat is by agreement?
§ The PRIME MINISTERBy consent.
§ Earl WINTERTONOf the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes; not by taking private Members' time.
§ Mr. LANSBURYI was going to raise that point with the Prime Minister. Would it not be possible to turn the business round, and take the Newfoundland Bill on Thursday? That would enable the House to consider the Report stage of the Money Resolution on a day not devoted to private Members. We do not know whether or not we should like to discuss further the proposals embodied in the Money Resolution. We cannot discuss it after four o'clock to-morrow. If we could take it on another night, it would meet the ordinary custom of the House without breaking into private Members' time.
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe right hon. Gentleman has given me no notice of this, and at the moment it is difficult to visualise the course of business. I sympathise with his objection and, if he will communicate through the usual channels during the day, we shall be perfectly willing to make the arrangement which will suit all Members best.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
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.]
