HC Deb 27 June 1940 vol 362 cc598-9
Mr. Lees-Smith

Might I ask the Lord Privy Seal to state the business for next week?

Mr. Attlee

Yes, Sir. Tuesday—Supply (16th Allotted Day); Committee. Debate on the Children's Overseas Reception Scheme.

Wednesday—Second Reading of the Unemployment Insurance Bill, and Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution; Second Reading of the Truck Bill and of the Merchant Shipping (Salvage) Bill; and, if there is time, Committee and remaining stages of the Courts (Emergency Powers) Amendment Bill [Lords,] Middlesex Deeds Bill [Lords,] and Indian and Colonial Divorce Jurisdiction Bill [Lords.]

Thursday—Supply (17th Allotted Day); Committee. Debate on Agriculture.

Mr. Lees-Smith

The Lord Privy Seal will remember that the Prime Minister said the day before yesterday that he would welcome at an early date a frank and full discussion of the war. As that early date may very likely be next week, will the Lord Privy Seal bear in mind that this business may need to be readjusted?

Mr. Attlee

Yes, Sir. The Prime Minister hopes to be able to make a statement at a very early date. In that case, if there is a desire for a Debate, the business will be altered accordingly.

Resolved, That this House, at its rising this day, do adjourn till Tuesday next."—[Mr. Attlee.]
