HC Deb 23 April 1947 vol 436 c1034
Mr. Oliver Stanley

May I ask the acting Leader of the House whether he has any statement to make on Business?

The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Arthur Greenwood)

Yes, Sir. Amendments are expected to come from another place today to the Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill. As the House is aware, this Bill must receive the Royal Assent by the 30th April, and we propose to ask the House to agree to take the Amendments tomorrow (Thursday) at the end of other Business. The Motion to approve the Biscuits (Charges) (Amendments) Order announced for tomorrow (Thursday) will be postponed. I understand that the Lords Amendments to the Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill are not of a major character.

Mr. Spence

Can the Leader of the House say to what date the Biscuits Order is being postponed?

Mr. Greenwood

I think that the hon. Gentleman should wait until the announcement of next week's Business is made tomorrow. I cannot say now.
