HC Deb 17 March 1937 vol 321 cc2072-5
Mr. Attlee

May I ask the Prime Minister what progress he expects to make with business to-day?

The Prime Minister

The Motion for the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the Civil List will be taken first; then we shall move the Second Reading of the Merchant Shipping (Spanish Frontiers Observation) Bill and take the Committee stage of Vote A of the Air Estimates. I understand that the discussion on the Committee stage of that Vote will be formal, the Debate taking place on the Report stage on Monday. The Committee stage of a formal Ways and Means Resolution will also be taken. If

there is time before Eleven o'clock after this business has been disposed of, we shall take the Second Reading of the Statutory Salaries Bill.

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.]

The House divided: Ayes, 271; Noes, 114.
