§ MR. A. J. BALFOURasked the hon. Member for Cardiff, What steps he was about to take with regard to his Motion on this subject, and for the discussion of which the Government refused to give a day; whether the hon. Member would move that Motion before going into Committee to-night, or whether the 164 question would be discussed in Committee?
§ SIR EDWARD J. REED, in reply, said, that as the Prime Minister, in pursuance of his engagement with the Leader of the Opposition, had insisted upon pressing the Redistribution Bill, and likewise the Registration Bills, before giving any facilities to private Members for any purpose whatever, he had thought it desirable to take no further steps until that measure had been disposed of.
