An Ceann Comhairle:    Next stage?

Mr. Colley:    Tuesday 9th June.

Mr. O'Higgins:    When will the Bill be circulated?

Mr. Colley:    I am sorry, that date is for circulation and then take it a week later.

Mr. O'Higgins:    Circulate it by——

Mr. Colley:    By Tuesday, 9th June, and then take it the following week, on 16th June.

Mr. O'Higgins:    The Minister could not circulate it before that?

Mr. Colley:    If I can I will, but I would not like to undertake that.

Mr. Corish:    What about 10th June?

Mr. Colley:    I have suggested this arrangement and Deputy Corish knows the significance of what I have suggested. It is always subject to the arrangement of business. I do not have to tell the Deputy that.

Mr. Corish:    The Minister should consult with the House.

Mr. Tully:    What is the cause of the delay?

An Ceann Comhairle:    The Bill can be ordered for the 10th and, if necessary, taken later.

Mr. Colley:    If Deputy Corish Wishes——

Mr. O'Higgins:    If it is complicated and can only be circulated on the 9th we might not be able to take it.

Mr. Colley:    We can get together on that.

An Ceann Comhairle:    Is the Second Stage ordered for 10th June?

Mr. O'Higgins:    16th June.

Mr. Colley:    Circulated on the 9th and ordered for 16th.

Second Stage ordered for Tuesday, 16th June, 1970.

Mr. O'Higgins:    Will that be the only financial legislation?

Mr. Colley:    No. There is the Decimal Currency Bill and the Central Bank Bill.

Mr. O'Higgins:    Will the Minister go ahead with these in this session?

Mr. Colley:    Yes. They are small Bills.
