§ Mr. AttleeMay 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 MinisterIt is proposed to suspend the Eleven o'clock Rule for the Civil Defence Bill and the Lords Amendments to the Camps Bill. Good progress was made with the Civil Defence Bill last night and we hope, with general agreement in all parts of the House, to complete it to-night.
§ Mr. BennReferring to the assurance given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, can the Prime Minister say when we shall have a copy of the Order in Council settling the allowances for the civil liabilities of the new conscripts?
§ The Prime MinisterI understand there is a question on the Order Paper on that point to-morrows.
§ Mr. BennIs the Prime Minister aware that this is a vital matter for the conscripts, and that it is being postponed from day to day?
§ Mr. SpeakerA question is already on the Paper.
§
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.]
