§ Mr. ATTLEEMay I ask the Prime Minister how far he proposes to go to, night in the event of the Motion on the Paper being carried?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe propose to move the Suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule in order to obtain the Committee Stage of the Civil List Resolutions. We hope that it may also
§ be possible to obtain the Committee stage of the Pensions (Governors of Dominions, &c.) Bill, but, in any event, we hope to obtain the Second Reading of the Weights and Measures Bill, which, I understand, meets with a, large measure of support from all parts of the House. That Bill, after Second Reading, will be referred to a Standing Committee for full consideration.
§ Mr. ATTLEEMay I take it that the Pensions (Governors of Dominions, &c.) Bill will not be proceeded with, if it should be reached at a late hour?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWe shall certainly not press that if it is not reached until a late hour.
§
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.]
