Order of Business.
I should like to know from the Government whether it is the intention to allow the First Reading of the Valuation Bill, 1945. The Government have suggested that it is not their intention to do so and I would almost like to claim it as a right, as a matter of Parliamentary courtesy——
The Government propose to take items 2, 3, 4 and 5 and then items 1 and 6.
The Government have intimated that they will not accept the First Reading of the Valuation Bill.
When we reach it, that matter can be dealt with.
Very good.
