§ Mr. LANSBURYMay I ask the Prime Minister how far he proposes to go tonight if the suspension of the Eleven o'clock Rule is carried?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule is being moved in order to obtain the necessary Army Votes; the Report stage of the Regimental Charitable Funds (Money Resolution),
§ and the remaining stages of the same Bill, which I understand, is quite non-contentious.
§
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, 263; Noes, 29.
