§ The Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Commons (Mr. John Biffen)With permission, I shall make a short statement about the business for next week.
Following discussions through the usual channels, the business for Friday 16 November will now be as follows: Second Readings of the Friendly Societies Bill and of the Mineral Workings Bill.
§ Mr. Eric Forth (Mid-Worcestershire)Will my right hon. Friend say when the Second Reading of the New Towns and Urban Development Bill is likely to be taken? It seems to have been lost in the changed order of business.
§ Mr. BiffenNothing is lost. The Second Reading of the New Towns and Urban Development Bill has merely been deferred.
