HC Deb 14 April 1970 vol 799 cc1212-82
Mr. Speaker

Before I call the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it may be for the convenience of hon. Members if I remind them of the procedure to be followed at the end of the Chancellor's speech.

As in the last two years, copies of the Budget Resolutions will not be handed round in the Chamber, but will be available to hon. Members in the Vote Office.

The first Resolution will be one to apply the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1968, to certain of the proposals to be contained in the subsequent Resolutions. Under Standing Order No. 90(1), I am required to put the Question on this Resolution forth-with.

When the first Resolution has been disposed of, I shall propose the Question on the second Resolution, which I understand will be a general Resolution entitled, "Amendment of the Law". On this Resolution, the Budget debate will take place today and also on the remaining days allotted to it.

Finally, when that Resolution has been agreed to next Monday evening it will be my duty, under Standing Order No. 90(2), to put successively the Questions on each of the remaining Budget Resolutions without amendment or debate, but with the possibility of a Division in each case.
