§ The Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons (Mr. William Whitelaw)With permission, Mr. Speaker, I should like to make a statement about the arrangements for business tomorrow. Before entering on the business already anounced, there will be a debate on the coal industry dispute. It will arise on a Motion for the Adjournment.
§ Mr. Arthur LewisThe Leader of the House mentioned the business already arranged for tomorrow. Will he give an assurance that as the latter business is very important and hon. Members on both sides of the House want to debate it, as there is no urgency about it, and as the public are interested in it, it will be brought on early on another day rather than after the business which he has just announced? I am referring to the increase in Ministerial salaries.
§ Mr. WhitelawThe arrangements made were worked out through the usual channels, I believe for the general convenience of the House. I should like to leave them as they are and see how we get on.
