HC Deb 04 July 1935 vol 303 cc2010-1
Mr. ATTLEE

May I ask the Prime Minister what the business is for next week?

The PRIME MINISTER

Monday: Committee stage of the National Health Insurance and Contributory Pensions Bill.

Tuesday: Supply (11th Allotted day), Committee. The Opposition Vote of Censure on unemployment and distressed areas will be debated instead of a Supply Vote.

Wednesday: Supply (12th Allotted day), Committee, Class 1, Vote 4, Estimate for the Treasury and subordinate departments, and a Supplementary Estimate which includes provision for a Minister without Portfolio. This Vote will be disposed of at 7.30 p.m., and questions affecting the Irish Free State will be raised on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House.

Thursday: Supply (13th Allotted day), Committee, Class 2, Vote 1, Foreign Office Vote.

The business for Friday will be announced later.

On any day, if there is time, other Orders may be taken.

Mr. CROSSLEY

May I ask the Prime Minister if it is his intention to proceed with the Cotton Spinning Industry Bill this Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

Only if we can obtain general agreement throughout the House. The Bill has been introduced, and has been circulated, and we may get some information as to the support it will receive.

Mr. CHURCHILL

With regard to the debate on Wednesday evening on the Irish Free State and the recent developments which have taken place owing to the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, I presume it is the Prime Minister's desire that the debate shall be general and enable the question to be freely ventilated?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, that is why we have arranged, by agreement, to take it on the Motion for the Adjournment.
