§ Mr. Arthur GreenwoodMay I ask the Prime Minister what will be the business for next week; and, at the same time, will he indicate what it is intended to take to-day in the event of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being suspended?
§ The Prime MinisterThe business for next week will be as follows:
§ Monday: Committee stage of the Coal Bill.
§ Tuesday: Report and Third Reading of the Air-Raid Precautions Bill; and, if there is time, the Committee stage of the Blind Persons Bill, and further consideration of the Public Works Loans Bill.
§ Wednesday: Consideration of Private Members' Motions.
§ Thursday: Committee stage of the Coal Bill.
§ Friday: Consideration of Private Members' Bills.
§ On any day, if there is time, other Orders will be taken.
§ We are moving to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule in order to obtain the Second Reading of the Unemployment Insurance Bill and the Committee stage of the Money Resolution. We hope also that it will be possible to obtain Orders Nos. 2 and 3, and the relative Money Resolution. Those are two small Measures which I do not think will raise any controversy.
§ Mr. GreenwoodIf the House should sit quite late on the Unemployment Insurance Money Resolution, I assume that there is no intention of pressing the second and third Orders?
§ The Prime MinisterI cannot give any undertaking, but we hope to get the Money Resolution in time to permit of these two small matters being taken to-night.
§
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, 222; Noes, 104.
