The President: I do not intend to interrupt Public Business to-day. I propose to allot Thursday next for a discussion on Item No. 10 on the Order Paper and all matters affecting that, and to give Deputy O'Hanlon time on Wednesday, but not the whole of Private Members' time, for the discussion of his motion which appears as No. 9 on the Order Paper.
