Committee and remaining stages of the Social Services (Northern Ireland Agreement) Bill; Public Works (Festival of Britain) Bill, and Colonial Naval Defence Bill [Lords];
Consideration of Motions to approve the Representation of the People Regulations and Representation of the People Regulations (Scotland).

Wednesday, 2nd March.—Second Reading of the British North America Bill;
Consideration of the Lords Amendment to the Cinematograph Film Production (Special Loans) Bill.
Thursday, 3rd March.—A Debate will take place on Defence which will arise on the Motion standing on the Order Paper in the name of my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister inviting the House to approve the White Paper.
Friday, 4th March.—Consideration of Private Members' Bills.
§ Mr. OsborneDoes this mean that we shall have no opportunity next week of discussing the Supplementary Estimate of the Ministry of Food?
§ Mr. MorrisonThe hon. Member ought to know that it is entirely a matter for the leaders of the Opposition as to what is done with Supply Days.
§ Mr. StanleyIs the right hon. Gentleman exactly correct in what he is saying? Surely the Tuesday is not a day on which it would be appropriate to discuss Supplementary Estimates.
§ Mr. MorrisonThat is quite right. It is not an ordinary Supply Day it is the Civil Vote on Account, but the Opposition can put down a Debate on the Supplementary Estimates at any time. I am sorry that I was a little in error.
