HC Deb 07 December 1936 vol 318 cc1644-9
Mr. ATTLEE

May I ask the Prime Minister what business it is proposed to take in the event of the Eleven o'clock Rule being suspended?

The PRIME MINISTER

We are moving the suspension of the Eleven o'clock Rule in order to obtain the concluding stages of the Public Order Bill and the Railway Freight Rebates Bill; and we hope that there will be time to consider the Money Resolution of the Unemployment Assistance (Temporary Provisions) Amendment. We also wish to get tonight Orders Nos. 4 and 5—Instruments of Instructions to the Governors of Indian Provinces and Burma, which the House has already debated.

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, 359; Noes, 118.
