Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Proceedings on Government Business be exempted, at this day's Sitting, from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Mr. H. Morrison.]

Before this Motion is agreed to, could we ask what Government Business is to be taken today?

Yesterday, I did announce the Business for today. The purpose of this Motion is merely precautionary, and is in relation to the Ministers of the Crown (Treasury Secretaries) Bill. It is purely precautionary and I do not imagine we shall be in any difficulty.

Question put, and agreed to.
