§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Prime Minister whether there will be an early day for a Debate on the Cadman Committee's Report?
§ The Prime MinisterYes, Sir. I propose to arrange for a Debate to take place early next week. I will make a further statement when I announce Business tomorrow.
§ Mr. AttleeI wish to give notice that, quite apart from the specific issues concerning civil aviation which are raised in the Cadman Report, I shall, on the occasion of the Debate on the Air Estimates, press for a full inquiry into the administration of the Air Ministry, in view of the growing evidence that all is not well in the administration of that Department.
May I also ask the Prime Minister what business he proposes to ask the House to take to-night?
§ The Prime MinisterWe are moving the suspension of the Eleven o'Clock Rule in order to obtain the Committee stage of the Supplementary Estimates on the Paper. We hope also to be able to obtain the Report stage of the Supplementary Estimates considered on 1st March and 8th March.
§
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.]
