May I ask the Leader of the House what will be taken next week?
On Monday, we propose to take the Second Reading of the Trade Boards Bill, and the Committee stage of the Defence of the Realm (Beans, Peas, and Pulse Orders) Bill".
On Tuesday, Vote of Credit.
On Wednesday, Report of the Vote of Credit.
On Thursday, Second Reading of the Consolidated Fund Bill.
Can the right hon. Gentleman tell us when the Home Rule Bill will be introduced; whether the drafting Committee which is alleged to be engaged on the Bill has completed its labours; or whether, as was indicated by General Smuts, the matter is to be dealt with by the Imperial Conference?
I can give no answer to any of those questions.
I thought so!
