HL Deb 06 May 1924 vol 57 c280
THE MARQUESS CURZON OF KEDLESTON

My Lords, perhaps the noble Lord, the Lord President of the Council, will allow me to ask what are the views of the Government, apart from what we see on the Paper, as to future business. For instance, there is a Bill which, I think, has passed the House of Commons, and which has come to your Lordships' House—the Prevention of Evictions Bill. I do not know whether the Government can give us any idea as to the day when they propose to put it down on the Paper. Then there was the Bill which was mentioned before I came into the House, the Trade Facilities Bill, which it is contemplated to take to-morrow. Do I understand that that will be put down for Second Reading to-morrow?

LORD ARNOLD

That is what was desired. It is a Money Bill.

THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (LORD PARMOOR)

It was explained that that was a Money Bill. As regards the other question which the noble Marquess has asked me, perhaps he will allow me to give him an answer to-morrow. I am not quite sure what is the best day.

THE MARQUESS CURZON OF KEDLESTON

Then there is a Bill in the name of the Secretary of State for India—the Bill which contemplates giving leave to certain high officials in India, the Second Reading of which was. to be taken on an early day after the Recess.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (LORD OLIVIER)

I have given notice for Thursday next.

House adjourned at twenty-five minutes past four o'clock.
