§ Mr. GreenwoodMay I ask the Leader of the House what will be the business for next week; and for what purpose it is proposed to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule to-night?
§ Sir J. SimonThe business for next week will be as follows:
§ Monday: Supply; Committee (16th Allotted Day). The Estimates for the Unemployment Assistance Board and the Ministry of Labour will be considered. Motion to approve the Unemployment Assistance (Winter Adjustments) Regulations.
§ Tuesday: Consideration of any further Lords Amendments to the Coal Bill which may be received from another place. Further consideration of the following Bills: Holidays with Pay; Rating and Valuation (Air-Raid Works); Rating and Valuation (Air-Raid Works) (Scotland); Supreme Court of Judicature (Amendment) (No. 2). Second Reading
1528§ of the Young Persons (Employment) Bill [Lords], Isle of Man (Customs) Bill, and Limitation Bill [Lords]. Navy, Army, and Air Expenditure, 1936: Committee.
§ Wednesday: Supply, Committee (17th Allotted Day). The Estimates for the Department of Health for Scotland will be considered.
§ Thursday: Supply, Committee (18th Allotted Day). The following Scottish Estimates will be considered: Public Education, Scotland; Scottish Office; Law Charges and Courts of Law, Scotland.
§ The business for Friday will be announced later.
§ On any day, if there is time, other Orders may be taken.
§ As regards the Motion for the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule, it is for the purpose of obtaining the business up to and including the sixth Order on the Paper.
§ Mr. SilvermanMay I ask, with regard to the fifth Order, whether it is the intention to take that at a late hour? It is the Administration of Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, which, as I think the right hon. Gentleman knows, arouses a good deal of misgiving among Members on both sides of the House, and I would submit that it is not really desirable that we should take it at a very late hour.
§ Sir J. SimonI dare say the hon. Member will recall that consideration of the Measure in question has been put off, I think more than once. I hope it will not be taken very late, but we really must, at this stage of the Session, get on and do our business.
§
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)."—[Sir J. Simon.]
