HC Deb 04 July 1905 vol 148 c998
MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the explicit and definite pledge given by him earlier in the session, that in the event of Money Bills being taken after twelve o'clock at night he would give notice at the Table, and that the failure to give notice of the intention to take the Consolidated Fund (No. 2) Bill on the previous night was a departure from that very definite pledge, he will in future, for the convenience of the House, see that proper notice is given.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

said, so far as his memory served him, the pledge referred only to the Report stage of Money Resolutions.

MR. DALZIEL

said that if the right hon. Gentleman would refresh his, memory he would find that in Answer to a Question put by himself he did give the pledge referred to.
