§ Mr. GreenwoodMay I ask the Prime Minister how far it is proposed to proceed to-night?
§ Mr. StanleyAs the answer involves a tabular statement, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. DayCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether that tabular statement shows the amount of film by linear feet?
§ Following is the answer:
§ The Prime MinisterIt is proposed to suspend the 11 o'clock Rule in order to obtain the Report and Third Reading of the Agricultural Development Bill, the Second Reading of the Senior Public Elementary Schools (Liverpool) Bill, and the Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution. I understand that the Liverpool Bill is an agreed Measure. We also hope to be able to obtain the Report stage of the Money Resolutions which were considered in Committee last night, as well as the remaining stages of the Overseas Trade Guarantees Bill. I do not think these latter items raise any points of controversy.
§ Colonel Sir John ShuteCan my right hon. Friend inform the House when the Committee stage of the House of Commons Members Fund Bill will be taken? Will it be this week?
§ The Prime MinisterYes, Sir, I hope there may be an opportunity to get the Committee stage tomorrow, after the Shipping Bill.
§ Sir Irving AlberyCan my right hon. Friend say at what time it will be taken? Will it be after 11 o'clock?
§
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.]
