Mr. Greenwood
Will the Prime Minister state what business he proposes to take to-night, in the event of the Eleven o'Clock Rule being suspended?
The Prime Minister
The first four Orders on the Paper. The Air-Raid Precautions Bill has already been considered in Committee, and I hope it will be possible to conclude this Bill before dinner time. Then we shall take the Committee stage of the Blind Persons Bill; and Orders No. 3 and 4 will not, I think, occupy very long. I hope that this business can be obtained without asking the House to sit very late.
