Before the House takes up Private Members' Business I would like to ask a question. I understand that when the President had concluded the debate on the Second Reading of the Housing Bill a while ago he intimated his intention of taking all the time of the House in future, and I take it that that includes all Private Deputies' time. In the event of the debate on the Legal Practitioners (Qualification) Bill not concluding this evening or in the event of this Bill taking all the time of the House this evening, I want to point out that the effect of the President's decision would be that the motion down in my name would be crushed out and suspended for a very long time.
ORDERS OF THE DAY. - BUSINESS OF THE DAIL.
Perhaps the Deputy will raise that point at the conclusion of the Private Members' business this evening.
I think there is a misapprehension on the matter. What I think the President said was that he desired to give all the Government time that was available to Estimates rather than to Bills.
