§ MR. HENRY H. FOWLERI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is proposed to make any alteration in the regulations now in force for the admission of strangers to the House?
§ * MR. W. H. SMITHThe Government have been considering this question. They are sensible of the fact that the existing regulations for the admission of strangers are not wholly satisfactory to hon. Gentlemen. But although a Committee sat and reported on this question last year, the Report of that Committee has not met with that amount of general agreement on the part of the House which would justify the Government in asking the House to act upon it. Attention will be given to the subject during the recess, and the Government hope to make in the early days of next Session, either by the appointment of a Committee or by technical proposals of their own, regulations under which strangers will be admitted.
