BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

HC Deb 09 March 1937 vol 321 c982

Mr. Attlee

May I ask the Home Secretary, as Deputy-Leader of the House, whether he has any statement to make with regard to Friday's business?

Sir J. Simon

Yes, Sir. The House will appreciate that the Parliamentary programme is very congested, as it usually is, at this time of year. The Easter Recess is little more than a fortnight off, and we have yet to complete the major part of the essential financial business. The Government, however, are prepared to set apart Friday of this week for the conclusion of the discussion on the Special Areas Money Resolution, on the clear understanding, in all quarters of the House, that the Committee stage of the Money Resolution will be obtained by four o'clock on that day.
