HC Deb 12 November 1906 vol 164 cc1064-5
MR. C. B. HARMSWORTH (Worcestershire, Droitwich)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he can see his way to promoting such a change in the Rules of Procedure as will enable a Bill that has reached a certain but incomplete stage in one session to be taken up at the same stage in a subsequent session of the same Parliament.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I do not think it will be possible to include this change in any immediate proposals relating to procedure. If the hon. Member has studied the question, as I have no doubt he has, he must be aware that there is a great weight of argument and authority on either side, and the change could not be effected without much consideration.
