Motion on the Incumbents (Vacation of Benefices) Measure.

§ Mr. Wigley
Can the Leader of the House give an indication of when we shall have the re-scheduled debate on the Report stage of the Welsh Development Agency Bill and also when we may have the annual Welsh day, which we have not had for 18 months?

§ Mr. Short
Hon. Members will get those debates. All that I am concerned with in this statement is the business for Wednesday and Thursday.

§ Mr. Spearing
Before the recess my right hon. Friend said that the debates on the EEC motions this Friday would be on the Adjournment. In view of a statement by the Government about the powers of the House, has he reconsidered that statement about the EEC motions?

§ Mr. Short
No, I have not reconsidered that. All that I am concerned with in this short statement is the business for Wednesday and Thursday.
