HC Deb 03 April 1905 vol 144 c147
MR. KEIR HARDIE

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the measure relating to unemployment mentioned in the King's Speech will be introduced before Easter under the Ten Minute Rule.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

If the course suggested by the hon. Gentleman is one that meets with general approval I shall be happy to adopt it.

MR. KEIR HARDIE

In that event on what day will it be introduced?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I cannot name a day, nor can I venture to say that so very important a Bill ought to be introduced under the Ten Minute Rule.
