– in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 22 Ionawr 1947.
May I ask the acting Leader of the House whether he has any statement to make on Business specially affecting the suspension of the Rule?
Yes, Sir. We propose to suspend the Rule in order to obtain the Report stage of the Agricultural Wages (Regulation) Bill and the Road Traffic (Driving Licences) Bill. We also hope that it will be agreeable to the House to take the Committee stage of the Money Resolution for the Pensions (Increase) Bill, which is to be taken as first Order tomorrow. This is a new Resolution designed to ensure that certain aged State pensioners will receive the full benefit of the recent increases in old-age pensions.
