Yes, Sir. The Business for the first week after the Easter Recess will be as follows: Tuesday, 15th April.—My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer will open his Budget.
Wednesday, 16th April, and Thursday, 17th April.—General Debate on the Budget Resolutions.
Friday, 18th April.—Report and Third Reading of the Cotton (Centralised Buying) Bill.
In order to meet the general wishes of the House we arranged for a fuel Debate to take place before Easter, that is, today, and postponed consideration of the Cotton (Centralised Buying) Bill. Following this rearrangement of Business, I think it will be generally understood that we shall obtain the concluding stages of the Cotton (Centralised Buying) Bill in the normal time available on Friday, 18th April.
