§ MR. COGHILL (Stoke-upon-Trent)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury 748 whether the Government, in spite of the assurances they have given that a Redistribution of Seats Bill would be brought in and passed before a General Election takes place, have abandoned all intention of dealing with the question of redistribution in the present Parliament.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)I do not think it possible or desirable to give a programme of legislation beyond the session in which we are engaged.
§ MR. COGHILLThat is not an answer to the question on the Paper.
