HC Deb 15 April 1937 vol 322 cc1185-7
Mr. Attlee

May I ask what will be the business for next week, and also what is the purpose of the Motion for the suspension of the Rule to-night?

Sir J. Simon

Monday: Committee stage of the Special Areas (Amendment) Bill, and further consideration of the Local Government (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Bill.

Tuesday: The Chancellor of the Exchequer will open his Budget.

Wednesday and Thursday: General Debate on the Budget Resolutions.

Friday: Consideration of private Members' Bills.

On any day, if there is time, progress will be made with other business.

We are moving the Suspension of the Eleven o' Clock Rule solely as a precaution. We hope to obtain the first four Orders, which are public Bills, and we also propose to take the fifth Order, which is the Report stage of Class VII (Building Votes).

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, 220; Noes, 103.
