HC Deb 17 October 1950 vol 478 c1882
Mr. Eden

Has the Leader of the House any statement to make about this week's Business?

Mr. H. Morrison

Yes, Sir. After the Second Reading of the Five Consolidation Bills, we propose to proceed with the Committee stage of the Public Utilities Street Works Bill [Lords]. The principle of this Bill is, I believe, generally accepted, but in view of the number of Amendments which have been tabled, I hope that the House will agree to our suspending the Rule as a precautionary measure in order to complete the Committee stage.

Following discussions which have taken place through the usual channels, arrangements will be made for a Debate tomorrow on the Second Annual Report of the British Transport Commission.

Mr. A. Edward Davies

May I ask my right hon. Friend whether the time for the Debate on Transport is limited, and, if so, whether it can be extended?

Mr. Morrison

I understand that the Debate will proceed all day.
