§ Mr. LANSBURYWill the Prime Minister state whether there is any change in the business for Thursday, and what will be the business on Friday?

§ The PRIME MINISTERIt will be left a good deal to the Committee to get on with the business as expeditiously as it can, which has been the mood hitherto.
§ Mr. MAXTONIs the Debate on foreign affairs to be a continuation of the Debate that we had last week, roaming over the whole field?
§ The PRIME MINISTERIt will be a Debate on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House.
§
