§ Commander King-HallMay I, on a point of Order, raise the question of what the Business is for to-day and how the matter has been arranged? It may be that I am ignorant of the procedure and do not know how to find out. I see a suggestion in the "Times" that a certain matter is to be discussed to-day, but that does not seem to be a very satisfactory method of communicating the information.
§ The Lord President of the Council (Sir John Anderson)It is proposed to continue the general Debate on the Address to-day, and I understand that among other matters questions relating to the National Fire Service and religious education will be raised.
§ Commander King-HallAgain I ask whether I can be told how these subjects are selected, and how does one find out that those will be the subjects?
§ Mr. G. StraussOn a point of Order. I take it there is no restriction on the Debate to-day. It is not a day set apart for a special subject, as I understand will be the case subsequently?
§ Sir Henry Morris-JonesOn a question of Procedure, may I ask whether, when the Government have arranged for the House to choose a certain subject for Debate upon the Address, it is open for any hon. Member to discuss widely the Address or any aspect of it on that particular day or any other day?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe subject for discussion to-day is the Motion for an Address in reply to the Gracious Speech from the Throne, and any Member can raise any question he likes in that Debate.
