HC Deb 02 April 1936 vol 310 cc2285-7
Mr. ELLIOT

I beg to move, in page 28, line 21, after "Corporation," to insert (including a balance sheet and a profit and loss account).

Mr. ALEXANDER

I beg to move, "That the Debate be now adjourned."

We have made very good progress with the large number of Amendments on the Order Paper, and an arrangement has been suggested, through the usual channels, that we might complete the Report stage and the Third Reading at a reasonable hour next Tuesday. If that meets with the approval of the House, I shall be glad to see the Debate adjourned now so that we might proceed with the other business which the Government desire to get, and go home at a reasonable hour.

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Captain Margesson)

I respond willingly to the appeal made by the right hon. Gentleman. Provided it is understood in all quarters that the remaining stages of the Bill, that is, the conclusion of the Report stage and the Third Reading are completed on Tuesday by about dinner time, the Government are prepared to accept the Motion for the Adjournment of the Debate.

Debate to be resumed upon Monday next.
