Tuesday, 20th January—Second Reading of the Princess Elizabeth's and the 1873 Duke of Edinburgh's Annuities Bill; and Report and Third Reading of the Overseas Resources Development Bill.
Wednesday, 21st January—Second Reading of the Cinematograph Films Bill.
Thursday and Friday, 22nd and 23rd January—A Debate on foreign affairs will take place on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House.
§ Mr. EdenThe Leader of the House will, no doubt, remember that I raised last week the question of the Geneva Trade Agreement. Could we be sure that this will be taken very soon after we resume, perhaps in the second week?
§ Mr. MorrisonWe will take it as soon as possible, and I hope that it will not be long.
§ Earl WintertonWill the Whips be put on on 20th January, or will they be taken off if there is an adverse decision on the Government's policy in the morning?
§ Mr. K. LindsayCan my right hon. Friend say when the Bill relating to the Curtis Report will be published, and if he will consider publishing a White Paper in advance of the publication of the Bill?
§ Mr. MorrisonThe Bill is being presented in another place this afternoon. As my hon. Friend will appreciate, that is not quite the same as publication, but publication will soon be effected. With regard to the suggestion about the White Paper, I am not in a position to say anything about that at the present moment, but I will consult with the Home Secretary.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the House will be given an opportunity of discussing his own statement, on 4th December, on the subject of Parliamentary proceedings in connection with nationalised industries?
§ Mr. MorrisonNo doubt an opportunity can be found on the Adjournment or otherwise.
§ Mr. Emrys HughesCould the Lord President tell us if there is any possibility of time being given to the consideration of the notice of Motion about giving wider powers to the Scottish Grand Committee to meet in Scotland?
§ Mr. MorrisonI am not in a position to make any statement about that today.
