DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS

HC Deb 22 April 1966 vol 727 c218

[SECOND DAY]

Order read for resuming adjourned debate on Question [21st April]:

That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows: Most Gracious Sovereign, We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.

Question again proposed.

Mr. Speaker

It may be helpful to the House if I indicate the course of the rest of the debate on the Motion for an Address.

I understand that it has been suggested that the trend today should be general, with emphasis on industrial affairs. On Monday, the main speeches are expected to be related to technology and education, on Tuesday to foreign affairs and defence, on Wednesday to Rhodesia, and on Thursday to home affairs.

May I underline, for the benefit of hon. Members, and especially to help those who are seeking to make maiden speeches, that this will not preclude any hon. Member from raising whatever matter he wishes to raise which is in order, if he happens to catch my eye.
