HC Deb 30 May 1938 vol 336 cc1654-7
Mr. Arthur Greenwood

May I ask the Prime Minister what business it is proposed to take in the event of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being suspended?

The Prime Minister

We hope to take the business on the Order Paper down to and including the Third Order, and we do not intend to take the Import Duties Orders to-night.

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, 213; Noes, 97.
