HC Deb 28 March 1938 vol 333 cc1638-41
Mr. Attlee

May I ask the Prime Minister what business it is proposed to take to-night in the event of the Motion on the Paper being carried?

The Prime Minister

We desire to take the first three Orders on the Paper. We hope to conclude the consideration of the Lords Amendments to the Cinematograph Films Bill by half-past seven o'clock, and then to resume and conclude the Debate on Civil Aviation. The Second Reading of the Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill is exempted business, and is usually a formal proceeding.

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, 225; Noes, 90.
