§ Mr. AttleeWill the Prime Minister say how far it is proposed to go to-night, and what is the business for to-morrow and Friday?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)To-night, the Ministry of Labour Vote is to be considered in Committee of Supply, with special reference to their work of the International Labour Office. We also propose to take the Third Reading of the Chairmen of Traffic Commissioners, Etc. (Tenure of Office) Bill; the Report and Third Reading of the Public Health (Drainage of Trade Premises) Bill [Lords]; and the remaining stages of the Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Bill [Lords], which is a consolidation Measure. The Motion for the Suspension is purely precautionary.
To-morrow, as already announced, the Estimate for the Department of Health, Scotland, will be considered, and afterwards we hope to obtain the Motion to approve the Amendments to the Scottish Milk Marketing Scheme.
On Friday, the Foreign Office Vote will be considered in Committee of Supply.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
