HC Deb 14 July 1950 vol 477 c1719
Lieut.-Colonel Elliot

May I ask the Deputy-Leader of the House if he has any statement to make about the Business for Wednesday?

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)

Yes, Sir. The subjects for debate on Wednesday next, the 24th allotted Supply Day, will be as follows: Opencast coal till seven o'clock, and afterwards the European Payments Union. It was originally intended to take the Debate on the European Payments Union in the first half of the day, but at the Government's request it is being taken in the second part of the day, to enable my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Economic Affairs, who is to attend an international conference, to be in his place. We are obliged to the Opposition for making that arrangement for his convenience. The document which has been promised with regard to the European Payments Union will be in the Vote Office on Monday evening.
