§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn". [Captain Margesson.]
§ 1.55 p.m.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have to inform the House that the Accession Council will meet to-morrow morning to approve the Proclamation to proclaim the King. The House will meet tomorrow, Saturday, at 2.45, so that Members may take the Oath of Allegiance. Mr. Speaker will remain in the Chair until seven o'clock. The House will then adjourn until Monday, when it will meet at the usual hour, and I hope by the early evening the majority of Members will have taken the Oath. I shall bring a message from His Majesty on Monday at about six o'clock and move an Address in reply thereto.
On Tuesday, we shall resume normal business, when the Committee stage of a Ways and Means Resolution to impose Import Duties on beef and veal will be taken.
On Wednesday, Private Members' Motions will be considered.
On Thursday, the Opposition Motion relating to the Unemployment Assistance Regulations will be taken until half-past seven. Afterwards the Adjournment of the House will be moved for a discussion on matters affecting the British Broadcasting Corporation. We shall also take the Report stage of the Beef Levy Resolution.
On Friday, 18th December, if all necessary business has been disposed of, we shall take the Motion for the Christmas Adjournment. The date of meeting after the Recess will be announced later.
§ Adjourned accordingly at Two Minutes before Two o'Clock.
