§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister the business for next week, and also whether it is proposed to take to-day any business other than the Ministers of the Crown Bill, in the event of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being suspended?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)The business for next week will be:
Monday:—Supply, Committee [l0th Allotted Day]. The Dominions Office Vote will be taken,
Tuesday:—Supply, Committee [10th Allotted Day]. The Ministry of Agriculture Vote will be taken.
1179 Wednesday and Thursday:—Finance Bill, Committee.
The business for Friday will be announced later.
On any day, if there is time, other Orders will be taken.
To-night the Eleven o'Clock Rule is being suspended in order to obtain the Report and Third Reading of the Ministers of the Crown Bill. We also propose to take the second Order on the Paper—the Report stage of the Finance [Expenses of Directors of Museums and Galleries] Money Resolution, which, I think, will be unopposed.
§ Mr. AttleeCan the right hon. Gentleman say when we are likely to get on the Paper the new proposals for extra taxation, in view of what occurred earlier
§ this week and whether we may have them in time for the further consideration of the Finance Bill?
§ The Prime MinisterI could not give an undertaking at the present moment, but no time will be lost.
§ Mr. McGovernHave the Government already decided on, and, if not, are they considering, the sending of a message of congratulation to the Duke of Windsor on his wedding?
§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Proceedings on the Ministers of the Crown Bill be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
