§ (2.50.) MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)I beg, Sir, to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Return for which I have asked in Notice No. 4 will be granted as an unopposed Return?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)I see no objection to the Return, though I do not see what useful purpose it will serve.
§ MR. LABOUCHEREThen, Mr. Speaker, I move for a
Return of the dates on which each Parliament was Elected and Dissolved since the passing of the Septennial Act, together with the periods that elapsed in each case between the Dissolution and the Meeting of the new Parliament.
§ Motion agreed to.
