§ Mr. LANSBURYIn the event of the Motion for the suspension of the Eleven o'clock Rule being carried, may I ask the
§ Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury how far it is proposed to go to-night.
§ Captain MARGESSONThe suspension of the Eleven O'Clock Rule is being moved in order to obtain the first three Orders on the Paper.
§ Mr. LANSBURYWith regard to the third Order—Supply, Report—we do not intend to contest it, but there are a lot of Amendments to the second Order, Local Government and other Officers' Superannuation (Temporary Provisions) Bill, and, in the event of it not being reached before Eleven o'clock does the Parliamentary Secretary propose to go on with it?
§ Captain MARGESSONNo, Sir. I hope that reasonable progress will be made with the first Order and that we shall dispose of it in ample time to allow the second Order to be disposed of without keeping the House unduly late. If I am over-optimistic, the House can be sure that it is not the intention of the Government to ask the House to sit late to-night.
§
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)"—[Captain Mar-gesson.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 174; Noes, 27.
