§ LORD JOHN MANNERSasked the Secretary of State for War, If any, and, if so, which, of the Bills named in the Queen's Speech are intended to be introduced into the House of Lords?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONWe do not think that any advantage would accrue—for reasons which, probably, it would not be necessary for me to explain no win detail—in introducing any of the measures mentioned in the Queen's Speech into the House of Lords, except the Scotch University Education Bill. There will, however, shortly be several other Bills introduced into that House which are not mentioned in the Queen's Speech, but which deal with subjects of considerable importance. Among them are those relating to the Law as to Contempt of Court, to the amendment of the Law relating to Medical Matters, to Sea Fisheries, Naval Discipline, the amendment of the Judicature Act, and to the Protection of Young Girls.
