BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. (Hansard, 29 January 1913)

§

May I ask what business will be taken in the early days of next week?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

On Monday and Tuesday, we will take the Report stage of the Established Church (Wales) Bill, and on Wednesday the Third Reading.

§ Mr. BONAR LAW

May I ask why it is that the Guillotine Resolution for the Report stage of the Welsh Bill which, I understand is the first Order to-morrow, is not on the Paper; and when it will be?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary was under the impression it was on the Paper; it was an oversight and the Government will repair it as soon as possible.

Mr. CATHCART WASON

When will the Lords Amendments to the Scottish Temperance Bill be taken?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Perhaps my hon. Friend would give me notice.

§ Earl WINTERTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman give an undertaking that it will not be taken after eleven o'clock?

§ Sir WILLIAM BYLES

Is it too early to tell us when the holidays will begin?

§ Mr. C. BATHURST

When does the Government propose to take the Railways (No. 2) Bill?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I do not think I could say now. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman would give me notice.

§ Mr. PETO

Will the right hon. Gentleman say it will not be before Wednesday of next week?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I do not think I can give an undertaking to that effect now.

§ Lord BALCARRES

Does the right hon. Gentleman therefore mean to take the Second Reading after eleven o'clock?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

No, I understand that is not the case.
