HC Deb 18 December 1906 vol 167 cc1289-90
MR. WHITLEY (Halifax)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can give an opportunity, before the session closes, for the discussion of the proposed new Standing Order which appears on the Paper in the name of the Member for Halifax.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Either my friend who puts the Question or the other friend who has the notice on the Paper must be of a very sanguine disposition. I am afraid no opportunity can be found this session.

MR. WHITLEY

Would to-morrow or Thursday not be available for the purpose?

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I think in the present exhausted state of Members of Parliament, it would be undesirable to commence consideration of this large subject.
