§ Mr. ATTLEEMay I ask the Prime Minister what business it is proposed to take if we suspend the 11 o'clock Rule?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe hope to get the first four Orders and the two Financial Resolutions, the Criminal Lunatic (Scotland) and the University of Durham. While it is true that the National Health Insurance Bill will occupy some time, I think the other matters, which we desire to get through before the House rises, are not controversial.
§ Mr. ATTLEEAlthough they may not be contentious, I take it some statement will be made in regard to them.
§ The PRIME MINISTERCertainly.
§
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, 201; Noes, 27.
