§ evening in the event of the Motion to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule being carried?.
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Government are moving that Motion simply as a precautionary measure.

The items that must be done are the first three on the Order Paper.
§
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.]
