Will the Prime Minister be good enough to say what business it is proposed to take on Friday?

Yes, Sir; the Second Reading of the Industrial Assurance and Friendly Societies Bill, the Committee stage of the Unemployment Insurance (Northern Ireland Agreement) Bill, the Pensions (Governors of Dominions, etc.) Bill, and of a Supplementary Estimate for Dominion Services (Compensation to Transferred Officers), and, if there be time, other Orders on the Paper.

Will the other Orders include the Report stage of the Supplementary Estimate of the 1st March, which was adjourned last night—the Irish loyalists Resolution?

I think so, if we do not get it before. As a matter of fact, I understand that there is a prospect of being able to take other Orders. Consultations always take place through the usual channels as to what Orders shall be taken; it is never done without consultation.

When are we to expect the Supplementary Estimate in connection with the Lord Mayor's Fund?

I do not know when that will be introduced.

Ordered, That the Proceedings on the Motion relating to the re-committal of the Local Government (Scotland) Bill; in Committee on the re-committed Bill; and on Consideration of the Bill, as amended, on re-committal, be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[The prime Minister.]

Second Reading

The Second Reading is the most important stage for a Bill. It is when the main purpose of a Bill is discussed and voted on. If the Bill passes it moves on to the Committee Stage. Further information can be obtained from factsheet L1 on the UK Parliament website.
