HC Deb 20 July 1894 vol 27 c562
MR. S. KEAY (Elgin and Nairn)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the expressions of public feeling which had taken place throughout the country, and particularly at the conference of Delegates recently held at Leeds, against the rejection by another branch of the Legislature of Bills which had been passed by the House, Her Majesty's Government, in accordance with the precedent already laid down by the House in three Resolutions passed on July 6th, 1860, would consider the advisability of again bringing forward resolutions directed to a similar object—namely, to guard for the future against an undue exercise of the power of the Lords to reject Bills?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir W. HARCOURT,) Derby

This is a large question, and I do not think that it can be dealt with in the way of question and answer.
