§ *MR. HAZLETON (Galway N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, if he will state the reason why, in the official reports of the proceedings of the Houses of Parliament, the speeches of Members of the Upper House are invariably reported in the first person, whereas this, with few exceptions, is not the practice in reporting the proceedings of this House: whether the speeches of Members of the Upper House are reported verbatim, and if so, what is the extra cost involved; and whether steps will be taken to have a similar method adopted in the Upper House to that which exists in this House.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. MCKENNA,) Monmouthshire N.I regret that I can add nothing to the Answer which I gave the 711 hon. Member to the same Question on the 30th July last.†
