Mr Clement Attlee
, Stepney Limehouse
(by Private Notice) asked the Lord President of the Council whether, in view of the fact that it has been arranged that the Chancellor of the exchequer shall make a statement this evening, and in view of the large number of Members who are interested in the Bill which we are discussing to-day, it is possible for the Government to give additional time for the Second Beading Debate on that Bill?
Mr Stanley Baldwin
, Bewdley
Yes, Sir. A request has been received through the usual channels for additional time for the Second Beading Debate on the Bill which we are considering to-day. The Debate will be curtailed at 10 O'clock to hear the statement of the Chancellor of the exchequer, and so the Government propose to allocate Friday of this week, for which no business has yet been announced, for the conclusion of the Second Beading of the Unemployment Insurance (Expiring Enactments) Bill and the Committee stage of the necessary financial resolution.
Mr Clement Attlee
, Stepney Limehouse
I wish to thank the right hon. Gentleman.

Mr James Maxton

And will there be an opportunity for extended discussion on it?
Mr Stanley Baldwin

Well, not extended. We do not propose to move the Motion that stands on the Order Paper with regard to the suspension of the Eleven o'clock Rule to-night.
