HC Deb 22 January 1953 vol 510 cc409-10
Mr. Attlee

May I ask the Leader of the House if he will state the business for next week?

The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Harry Crookshank)

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

MONDAY, 26TH JANUARY—Supply [1st Allotted Day]:

Committee stage, Civil Supplementary Estimates:

  • Ministry of Supply.
  • Royal Ordnance Factories.
  • Ministry of Materials.
  • Export Credits.
  • Army Supplementary Estimates.
TUESDAY, 27TH JANUARY—Supply [2nd Allotted Day]:

Committee stage, Supplementary Estimate:

Foreign Office Grants and Services which relate to a credit for Argentina:

Any Supplementary Estimates not obtained on Monday, 26th January;

Committee stage:

Ways and Means Resolutions, upon which the special Consolidated Fund Bill will be founded.

It is urgent to ask the House to pass these Supplementary Estimates and a special Consolidated Fund Bill, which will be taken during the week after next, in order to give authority for the issue of the money.

WEDNESDAY, 28TH JANUARY—Motion to suspend the Ten o'Clock Rule for half-an-hour on days when the Iron and Steel Bill is in Committee.

The House will remember that on 19th December I announced arrangements which had been reached between both sides of the House, and it is part of the arrangement that we should sit until 10.30 on days when the Bill is in Committee. That is why that Motion has been brought forward, to put that verbal arrangement into words.

Committee stage:

  • Iron and Steel Bill till 10.30 p.m. [1st Day].
  • THURSDAY, 29TH JANUARY—Committee stage:
  • Iron and Steel Bill till 10.30 p.m. [2nd Day].
  • Report stage:
  • Urgent Supplementary Estimates:
  • Report stage:
Ways and Means Resolutions, upon which the Consolidated Fund Bill will be brought in.

FRIDAY. 30TH JANUARY—Private Members' Bills.

Mr. Attlee

Is it intended that on Tuesday, on the Foreign Office Grants and Services relating to a credit for Argentina, we shall be able to discuss the whole of the agreement with the Argentine?

Mr. Crookshank

It does not rest with me to define the scope of the debate, but if that can be arranged it will certainly be agreeable to the Government.

Forward to
