§ Mr. GaitskellMay I ask the Leader of the House whether he will state the business for next week?
§ The business for next week will be as follows:
§ MONDAY, 21ST JULY—Supply [23rd Allotted Day]: Committee.
§ The subject for debate will be announced later.
§ Consideration of the Motion relating to the Greenwich Hospital and Travers' Foundation Accounts; and of the Motion to approve the Import Duties (Exemptions) (No. 13) Order.
§ TUESDAY, 22ND JULY—Supply [24th Allotted Day]: Committee.
§ The subject for debate will be announced later.
§ Consideration of the Lords Amendments to the Local Government Bill.
§ Motions to approve the Draft Local Government Superannuation (Benefits) (New Towns Staffs) Regulations, and similar Regulations for Scotland.
§ WEDNESDAY, 23RD JULY—Consideration of the Lords Amendments to the Local Government and Miscellaneous Financial Provisions (Scotland) Bill, which are expected to be received from another place today; to the Park Lane Improvement Bill; and to the Merchant Shipping (Liability of Shipowners and Others) Bill—a Private Members' Bill for which we propose to give facilities.
1437§ Consideration of the Motions to approve the Herring and White Fish Subsidy (United Kingdom) Schemes.
§ At 7 o'clock Opposed Private Business has been set down for consideration by the Chairman of Ways and Means.
§ THURSDAY, 24TH JULY—Supply [25th Allotted Day]: Committee.
§ Debate on Education in Scotland.

§ Motions to approve the Draft Pneumoconiosis and Byssinosis Benefit Amendment Scheme; and the Draft National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) (Colliery Workers Supplementary Scheme) Amendment Order.
§ FRIDAY, 25TH JULY—Report and Third Reading of the Tribunals and Inquiries Bill [Lords]; the Children Bill [Lords]; and the Water Bill [Lords].
§ Perhaps, Mr. Speaker, I may also mention that tomorrow, Friday, after the Third Reading of the Finance Bill, we hope that there will be an opportunity to consider the Lords Amendments to the Divorce (Insanity and Desertion) Bill; and the Variation of Trusts Bill; and also the Second Reading of the Licensing of Bulls and Boars Bill [Lords], which have come from another place.
§ These are Private Members' Bills and the Government have decided to facilitate their progress.
§ Mr. GaitskellIt will be generally understood that in the present situation any statement on business must be rather provisional. It was for that reason that we thought it wise not to decide here and now what subjects should be debated on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
§ Mr. WoodburnIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Local Government and Miscellaneous Financial Provisions (Scotland) Bill has been so long in the Lords that it has become completely different from the Bill sent there from this House? As we have not had an opportunity of considering the entirely new aspects of the Bill, will the right hon. 1438 Gentleman consider having it introduced in another form so that the House may have a full opportunity to discuss those new aspects?
§ Mr. ButlerNo, Sir. I think that the right hon. Gentleman and his hon. Friends will be sufficiently able to apprehend the Lords Amendments and to deal with them.
