§ "to make the reduction of wages illegal," presented accordingly, and read the First time; to be read a Second time upon Monday, 7th July, and to be printed. [Bill 217.]
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINOn a point of Order. When you called upon the hon. Member to give the names of those who are prepared to introduce the Bill, he used an unusual and, I think, an unprecedented formula. I should like to know whether, as a matter of Order, any names can appear on the back of the Bill except the names given by the hon. Member to you when called upon?
§ Mr. SPEAKERI understand that there are 11 names on the back of the 1157 Bill, which is quite proper. It was only that the hon. Member used rather picturesque language in describing them.
