Under the Order of the House of 11th November last, Ballots are to be held today for Private Members' Motions on Thursday, 17th March, and tomorrow for Private Members' Motions on Friday, 18th March.

In view of the announcement that Parliament will be dissolved on 10th March I have a proposal to make on which I would like to know the pleasure of the House.

I would, if the House allowed, propose to cancel the arrangements for tomorrow's Ballot which fall to be made under my authority, that is to say, the placing of the book for signatures in the No Lobby, and the placing of notices about the House.

I take it that hon. Members have no objection to that.

I beg to give notice that on Thursday, 17th March, I shall call attention to the inaccuracies of certain pledges made by the Prime Minister, and move a Resolution.
