§ MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he proposes to take the steps needful to carry into effect the recommendations of the Select Committee on Private Business (which sat last session) which are embodied in paragraphs 37, 38, and 39 of their Report.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have been in communication with the Chairman of the Committee, who, as the House knows, is abroad. I gather that he is in favour generally of these changes, but before making any answer I should like to be able to consult him, and I must therefore defer any further answer.
