§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister what will be the business for Friday, and also what business it is proposed to take to-day in the event of the Motion for the Suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being carried?
§ The Prime MinisterFriday will be a Supply day (9th allotted day, 1st part), but I am not yet in a position to announce which Vote will be taken. To-day we hope to conclude the Second Reading of the Finance Bill by about half-past seven. We are moving the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule in order to cover the Committee stage of the Money Resolution relating to the Finance Bill, and the Third Reading of the Civil List Bill. If there is time before Eleven o'Clock, we would like to obtain the Committee stage of the Chairmen of Traffic Commissioners (Tenure of Office) Bill.
§ Mr. MaxtonAre we to understand that the Prime Minister is not yet in a position to announce the business for Friday?
§ The Prime MinisterFriday will be a Supply day, but the particular Vote to be considered will be announced later.
§ Mr. AttleeWith regard to to-day's business, may we take it that there will be somebody to speak in support of the Government's proposals?
§
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.]
