§ Mr. AttleeMay I ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the Prime Minister's absence, the reason for which we regret, for what purpose the suspension of the 11 o'Clock Rule is being moved?
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon)We desire to obtain the Committee stage of the Housing (Rural Workers) Amendment Bill, and the Second Reading of the Welsh Church (Amendment) Bill, which comes from another place. We hope also to obtain the Patents, etc. (International Conventions) Bill, which also comes from another place, and which is the third Order, but it is not our intention to move this Order at a late hour.
§
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.]
§ The House divided: Ayes, 210; Noes, 107.
