HC Deb 09 February 1944 vol 396 cc1777-8
Mr. Arthur Greenwood

May I ask the Leader of the House whether he can make a statement on the Business for the remaining days of this week?

Mr. Eden

Yes, Sir. We do not any longer wish to take this week, the Second Reading of the Naval Forces (Extension of Service) Bill, which had been announced for the fourth Sitting Day. Instead, we should like to take on the third or fourth Sitting Days, if there is time, the Prize Salvage Bill, a Measure which has come down to us from another place.

Mr. Maxton

Is the House of Commons Disqualification (Temporary Provisions) Bill still coming on?

Mr. Eden

It will be coming on shortly. It is not the Bill to which I have just referred.

Mr. Maxton

The right hon. Gentleman has announced some changes, and I am asking whether he still intends to proceed with that Bill.

Mr. Eden

Yes, on the third Sitting Day.

Mr. Maxton

I want the right hon. Gentleman to understand that it will not pass pro forma.

Mr. Eden

I shall observe that when the time comes.
