HC Deb 01 July 1936 vol 314 cc414-7
Mr. ATTLEE

May I ask the Leader of the House what business he proposes to take in the event of the Motion standing in the name of the Prime Minister being carried?

Sir J. SIMON

In view of the progress made yesterday with the Finance Bill, we have every hope of concluding the Report stage by about half-past seven to-night. We shall then move the Second Reading of the Malta (Letters Patent) Bill, which has come from the Lords, and afterwards take the Third Reading of the Air Navigation Bill. In any event, we must conclude the Report stage of the Finance Bill and obtain the Third Reading of the Air Navigation Bill to-night, and I hope we may carry through the programme we have suggested.

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)."—[Sir J. Simon.]

The House divided: Ayes, 208; Noes, 122.
