HC Deb 23 February 1949 vol 461 cc1873-6
Mr. Stanley

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

Mr. H. Morrison

Yes, Sir. The order in which it is proposed to take the Civil Supplementary Estimates tomorrow is as follows: We shall resume consideration of the Estimates for which the Colonial Office are responsible, then take the National Assistance Board Estimate, the House of Commons and other Supplementary Estimates for which the Treasury

are responsible, the Government Hospitality Fund and Estimates regarding the Ministry of Works, and then proceed, if there is time, with the remaining Supplementary Estimates in the order in which they stand on the Paper.

Motion made, and Question put, That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of Standing Order No. 1 (Sittings of the House)."—[The Prime Minister.]

The House divided: Ayes, 243; Noes, 117.
