§ Mr. Arthur GreenwoodMay I ask what is the Business for next week, and will the Leader of the House also state the course of Business to-day?
§ Mr. EdenThe Business for next week will be as follows:
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 3rd, 4th and 5th October—Committee stage of the Town and Country Planning Bill.
Friday, 6th OctobergSecond Reading of the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Bill, and, if there is an opportunity we hope to take the Second Reading of the Unemployment Bill and Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution.
From conversations which have taken place, we hope the House will agree to take the remaining stages of the Housing (Scotland) Bill as first Order to-morrow.
420 During the week we propose to take the Motion to approve the Milk Marketing (County of Moray) (Charges) Order.
As regards the Business for to-day, I understand, if you, Sir, are willing to give your approval, that it might be agreeable if there were a short Adjournment for the luncheon hour about 1.15.
§ Mr. SpeakerI am in the hands of the House but I am sure the House would not wish to impose an undue physical strain on the Prime Minister.
§ Mr. ShinwellBefore the Recess the Leader of the House gave some indication of a possible Debate on shipbuilding. Can he say anything about that matter now?
§ Mr. EdenThat is in our minds. It is one of the Debates we propose to have before the end of the Session.
§ Mr. StokesWhen is it proposed to give the House an opportunity of discussing the Bretton Woods Conference and, when that comes about, will the right hon. Gentleman consider allowing at least two full days?
§ Mr. EdenI have not a date in mind at present, still less am I prepared to say two days until I know what the House as a whole would like. Sir H. Williams: When will the Coal Charges Order be taken?
§ Mr. BellengerThe Prime Minister said earlier in the week that the House would have an opportunity of debating the Government's White Paper on demobilisation. Have they made up their minds when it will be possible to debate that important matter?
§ Mr. EdenIf there is a general desire, arrangements will be made for a Debate, but the matter had best be discussed through the usual channels.
§ Mr. TinkerWhen will time be given for the Social Insurance White Paper? Will it be in operation before the end of the Session?
§ Mr. EdenThe answer to the second part of the question is "No." As to the first part, I think hon. Members would still like a little time to study the Paper.
