BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. (Hansard, 20 June 1938)

§ Mr. Attlee
May I ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury whether he has any statement to make in regard to Friday's business?

§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Margesson)
On Friday, 24th June, the business will be Supply, Committee, the second part of the nth Allotted Day. The Estimates for the Ministry of Labour and the Unemployment Assistance Board will be considered.

§ Mr. E. Smith
Cannot this matter be reconsidered, in view of the very serious situation in which the people applying for unemployment assistance find themselves? Moreover, Friday is only a short day?

§ Captain Margesson
The hon. Member will realise that the subject chosen for the Debate on Friday rests with the Leader of the Opposition.

§ Mr. Batey
This is a most important question. Will the Supply Day be a full day or only half a day? Last Friday was used as a Supply Day.

§ Captain Margesson
Only half a day.
