May I ask the Leader of the House, on Business, whether, in view of the important pronouncement he made on the wireless on Sunday night on post-war policy, he will give the House of Commons an opportunity of discussing it?

House of Commons

The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
