§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether, in view of the fact that the Foreign Secretary, the War Secretary, and the Postmaster General 950 are in the House of Lords, the Government will consider the desirability of following the practice in the Cape Parliament, where Ministers are entitled to attend both Chambers of the Legislature for the purpose of answering questions and making statements, but not of voting?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.replied, that the practice might be found convenient in foreign Parliaments, but he did not think it was likely to be initiated in England by the present Government.
