§ [8TH ALLOTTED DAY]—considered
§ Mr. SpeakerBefore we begin, may I make a very brief statement? The first half of our debate today, until about 7 o'clock, is the Liberals' Supply Day and the second half is the Ulster Unionists' Supply Day. Many right hon. and hon. Members have indicated to me that they wish to speak, but they will all get in only if we realise that these are abbreviated debates, and I am appealing to the House in general and not of necessity to the hon. Member who states the case for the respective parties in opening the debates.
