We propose to ask the House to suspend the Eleven o'Clock Rule. Our intention was to take five Orders, but we understand it would meet the convenience of the House if, say, at 11 o'clock, the London Traffic Bill were not completed, that we should move that further con-

sideration of that Bill be adjourned and proceed with and complete the following three Orders on the Paper.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the China Indemnity (Application) Bill is by no means regarded as non-contentious?

I am aware that there is some difference of opinion on the matter, but not sufficient to keep the House very long.

Supposing the London Traffic Bill is not finished by 11 o'clock, is it the intention of the Government to put it down on a subsequent occasion?
