§ Mr. AttleeWill the Prime Minister state the business for next week, and will he also tell us for what purpose he is moving the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule to-night?
§ The Prime MinisterThe suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule is precautionary. We desire to obtain the Second Reading of the Livestock Industry Bill 354 and the Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution, and afterwards we propose to take the Second Reading of the Beef and Veal Customs Duties Bill, which is exempted business. The Business for next week is as follows:
Monday: Second Reading of the Empire Settlement Bill; Committee stage of the Beef and Veal Customs Duties Bill; and Second Reading of the Unemployment Assistance (Temporary Provisions) Amendment Bill.
Tuesday: Discussion of the Motion of Censure standing on the Order Paper in the name of the Leader of the Opposition with regard to dismissals from the Royal Dockyards; and further consideration of the Beef and Veal Customs Duties Bill.
Wednesday: Private Members' Motions.
Thursday: Second Reading of the Maternity Services (Scotland) Bill, and Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution, and, if there is time, Second Reading of the Harbours, Piers and Ferries (Scotland) Bill.
Friday: Private Members' Bills.
On any day, as opportunity offers, other business will be taken, including the Public Works Loans Bill, consideration of the East India Loans Money Resolution, India and Burma (Existing Laws) Bill [Lords], and consideration of Money Resolutions for the Chairmen of Traffic Commissioners and Statutory Salaries.
§ Mr. ThorneHas the Home Secretary made any report to the Cabinet about the Factories Bill?
§ The Prime MinisterI regret to say that Cabinet discussions are supposed to be secret.
§ Mr. MabaneHow long is it proposed to give to the Empire Settlement Bill on Monday? Will it be a whole day?
§ The Prime MinisterYes, if necessary.
