§ Sir J. MellorOn Business, may I ask the Leader of the House whether, in the event of the two Orders being debated beyond 3 o'clock this afternoon, he will give an indication of what will be the latest hour at which the Second Reading of the Local Authorities Loans Bill will be commenced?
§ Mr. EdenI would rather not make a definite statement but see how we get along. I would not ask the House to take the Second Reading at a very late hour.
§ Sir J. MellorMay we have some assurance that this very important Bill will not be dealt with just at the last moment of the day?
§ Mr. EdenNot only will it not be, but it cannot be. We have not suspended the Rule for the Sitting.
