§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department and Lord Privy Seal (Mr. R. A. Butler)Mr. Speaker, I have a short statement on business.
The right hon. Gentleman the Member for Huyton (Mr. H. Wilson) drew attention last night to the fact that there were 391 no copies available in the Vote Office of the White Paper relating to the European Monetary Agreement, signed in Paris in 1955. Copies of this White Paper have now been made available in the Vote Office and I regret that they were not there earlier.
We hope that it will be agreeable to the House to take the Committee and remaining stages of the European Monetary Agreement Bill tonight. As the House is aware, we did not proceed with the Bill last night following an amicable arrangement which was made across the Floor of the House.
