HC Deb 25 February 1935 vol 298 cc776-9
Mr. LANSBURY

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman how far he intends to go if the Motion which he is about to move is carried? May I also enter, not a violent but a mild, protest at the regularity with which the Standing Order is being suspended?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have great sympathy with the right hon. Gentleman in his last remark, but—

Mr. LANSBURY

Necessity knows no law.

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes. We desire to make substantial progress with the Supplementary Estimates which are on the Paper; to obtain the Committee stage and Third Reading of the Unemployment Insurance Bill, which, as I have already stated, is purely a consolidation measure; and the Report stage of the Housing (Scotland) Money Resolution.

Mr. LANSBURY

There is a private Bill down for to-night, and I think it is possible that we shall not get through the Supplementary Estimates. Business that is regarded as non-controversial in all parts of the House I expect none of us would object to going through.

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.]

The House divided: Ayes, 227; Noes, 28.
