§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."—[Captain McEwen.]
§ Mr. Simmonds (Birmingham, Duddeston)I had given notice that I desired to move a Prayer—
[That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty praying that the Order in Council, dated 10th February, 1943, made under the Emergency Powers (Defence) Acts, 1939 and 1940, adding Regulation 54CA to the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939, a copy of which was presented to this House on 11th February, be annulled.]—
at this hour, but as a result of this Motion being placed on the Order Paper certain discussions have taken place and are continuing, and my hon. Friends and I are in agreement with the Government that it would be desirable that these discussions should continue before I, in fact, move the Prayer. In these circumstances I have asked that the Prayer may stand over to the second Sitting Day in the next series of Sittings.
