§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister what will be the business for next week; and will he also be good enough to state the reasons for putting on the Paper the Motion to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule, and how far he proposes to go with business to-night?
§ The Prime MinisterThe business for next week will be as follows: 1846 Monday: Second Reading of the Air-Raid Precautions Bill, and Committee stage of the Money Resolution.
Tuesday: Further consideration of the National Health Insurance (Juvenile Contributors and Young Persons) Bill, the Blind Persons Bill, and the Supreme Court of Judicature (Amendment) Bill, if not already disposed of; and, if there is time, the Committee stage of the Scottish Housing Money Resolution.
Wednesday: Private Members' Motions.
Thursday: Second Reading of the Sea Fish Industry Bill, and Committee stage of the Money Resolution.
Friday: Private Members' Bills.
On any day, if there is time, other Orders will be taken.
With regard to this evening, we are moving to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule as a precautionary measure, in order to make certain of obtaining the first two Orders on the Paper and the necessary Money Resolutions. If there is time, we propose to take the third and fourth Orders, but there is no intention to ask the House to sit late.
§ Mr. AttleeAm I right in understanding that the third and fourth Orders will not be taken after Eleven o'Clock?
§ The Prime Ministerindicated assent.
§ Mr. AttleeIn view of the importance of the Air Raid Precautions Bill, would it not be possible to give another half-day, say up to Eight o'Clock on Tuesday, so that we may have a full discussion on the Second Reading?
§ The Prime MinisterI am disposed to accede to that suggestion of the right hon. Gentleman, but I think up to 7.30 would be time enough.
§ Sir Percy HarrisWould the Prime Minister say what is the stage of the Blind Persons Bill that is to be taken on Tuesday?
§ The Prime MinisterThe Committee stage.
§ Mr. E. J. WilliamsWill the Committee stage of the Blind Persons Bill be taken on the Floor of the House?
§ The Prime MinisterYes, Sir.
Motion made, and Question put,
§ "That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting,
1848§ from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]
