§ Mr. AttleeCan the Prime Minister say what business it is proposed to take in the event of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being suspended?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)After the Committee stage of the Exchange Equalisation Account [Money] Resolution, we shall take the four Government of India and Government of Burma Act Orders, the third, fourth and fifth Orders on the Paper, and the Committee stage of the Nigeria [Remission of Payments] Resolution. We do not intend to take the Trade Marks (Amendment) Bill. The Suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule is purely a matter of precaution.
§ Mr. AttleeI take it that it is not intended to take any of the other Orders very late at night if the Debate on the first Order should go late?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir.
§
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.]
