Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister the business for next week; and how far he proposes to go to-night, in the event of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being suspended?
§ The Prime MinisterThe business for next week will be:
§ Monday: Supply; Committee (12th Allotted Day), Board of Education Vote.
§ Tuesday: Supply; Committee (13th Allotted Day), Foreign Office Vote.
§ Wednesday and Thursday: Finance Bill; Committee.
402§ The business for Friday will be announced later.
§ On any day, if there is time, other Orders will be taken.
§ To-night we propose, in the event of the Rule being suspended, to go up to and including the seventh Order on the Paper. I do not think there will be any necessity to ask the House to sit late.
§ Sir P. HarrisCan the Prima Minister say when the Draft Unemployment Assistance Regulations, dealing with Winter Adjustments, are likely to be before the House, and can he give an assurance that they will not be taken at a late hour?
§ The Prime MinisterThey will certainly not be taken at a late hour. I cannot say when they will be considered.
§
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, 205; Noes, 121.
