§ MR. CHAPLIN (Lincolnshire, Spalding)To ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the condition in which the new Rule of 222 Procedure relating to Order in Debate is left by the Government at present, and having regard to the occurrences of Thursday last and their possible recurrence, he proposes to take steps, and, if so, when, to give effect to the intention expressed by himself to complete that Rule before the close of the session.
(Answered by Mr. A. J. Balfour.) I have not absolutely given up the hope that the House may be able to deal with the Order referred to by my right hon. friend in the course of the present Session, but the arrangements for proceeding with it must necessarily depend upon the progress made with public business.
