§ LORD PARMOORMy Lords, before public business begins I think it Would be convenient if I were to say that we have now made arrangements for taking the Coal Mines Bill as the first Order on Tuesday and after that the Second Reading of the Housing Bill. I shall have to move that the relevant Standing Order be suspended because if it were not suspended I assume that the Housing Bill would come first. I understand it is for the general convenience that the consideration of the Amendments to the Coal Mine Bill should be taken first, and I give that notice to your Lordships. Notice of the suspension of the Standing Order will be given in the ordinary way.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYMy Lords, so far as we are concerned, I need not say that we shall place no difficulty at all in the way of that arrangement of business. I do not know whether it was by inadvertence, but the noble and learned Lord did not tell us at what time he proposes that your Lordships should meet on Tuesday.
§ LORD PARMOORI thought I said at a quarter before four. I am told that there is no judicial business and that will give us a little further time.
