HC Deb 28 March 1906 vol 154 cc1289-90
MR. SMEATON (Stirlingshire)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in view of the complaint of length of speeches in this House and consequent delay in the transaction of business, he will suggest to the Select Committee on Procedure that they should consider the question and report proposals for a time limit on speeches.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I shall be very glad if the Select Committee find it within their reference to make a proposal on this subject, but this is a matter entirely within' their discretion.
