HC Deb 27 November 1947 vol 444 c2127
Mr. Eden

May I ask the Leader of the House to state the Business for next week?

The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)

Yes, Sir. The Business for next week will be as follows:

Monday, 1st December—Second Reading of the Agriculture (Scotland) Bill and Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolutions.

Tuesday, 2nd December, and Wednesday, 3rd December—Committee stage of the Finance Bill.

Thursday, 4th December—Committee stage of the Parliament Bill, and further progress will be made with the Pensions (Governors of Dominions, etc.) Bill.

Friday, 5th December—Second Reading of the Medical Practitioners and Pharmacists Bill (Lords); Second Reading of the Public Works Loans Bill and Committee stage of the necessary Money Resolution, and Second Reading of the Mandated and Trust Territories Bill (Lords).

Mr. S. Silverman

Will my right hon. Friend say whether, having regard to the result of the Gravesend by-election, he can find time next week for the Vote of confidence which the Leader of the Opposition will no doubt wish to move?

Mr. Morrison

I have not yet received such a request, but it would be very nice. If it were received, we would give the necessary facilities.
