HC Deb 18 July 1944 vol 402 c145
The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. James Stuart)

I beg to move, That the proceedings on Government Business be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House). I do so in order that we may complete the Business as announced, and I hope there will be no objection to my doing so.

Mr. Buchanan (Glasgow, Gorbals)

To complete what Business? The right hon. Gentleman says "Government Business"; he might tell us what Government Business it is intended to complete. It might be a little courtesy to the House.

Mr. Stuart

Yes, and I am sorry that I omitted to do so. It was announced last week that it was hoped to get the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill through the Committee stage and the remaining stages to-day, in order to get that Bill to the Lords, and also to get the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill and the Civil Excess Vote.

Question put, and agreed to.
