§ Postponed Proceeding on Amendment to Question. "(1) When a Bill has been read a second time it shall stand committed to one of the Standing Committees, unless the House, on Motion to be decided without Amendment or debate, otherwise order, and such a Motion shall not require notice, must be made immediately after the Bill is read a second time, may be made by any Member, and may, though opposed, be decided after the expiration of the time for opposed business. But this Order shall not apply to (a) Bills for imposing taxes, or Consolidated Fund or Appropriation Bills; or (b) Bills for confirming Provisional Orders. (2) The House may, on Motion made by the Member in charge of a Bill, commit the Bill to a Standing Committee in respect of some of its provisions, and to a Committee of the Whole House in respect of other provisions. If such a Motion is opposed, the Speaker, after permitting, if he thinks fit, a brief explanatory statement from the Member who makes and 848 from the Member who opposes the Motion, shall without further debate put the Question thereon."—(Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman.)
§
Which Amendment was—
In line 10, at the end, to insert the words, 'Where a Bill has been committed under the foregoing provision of this Standing Order, a Member shall have the same right of speaking on the consideration of the Report of such Committee as if the Bill was before a Committee of the Whole House,'" resumed.
§ Question again proposed, "That those words be there inserted."
§ LORD R. CECIL (Marylebone, E.)said he was perfectly amazed at the attitude of the Government. Outside the walls of Parliament this matter would have been settled in two minutes by the Minister in charge admitting at once that there had been a misunderstanding and that, of course, the Government would fulfil to the letter whatever they were thought to have pledged themselves to. If the business of the House was conducted on the theory it was professed to be conducted upon, that all hon. Members were honest men and honestly stated their views, Members on the other side of the House were bound to take the view that the Opposition honestly believed the Prime Minister had pledged himself to accept in its sense, if not in the wording, the Amendment of the right hon. and learned Member for the Dublin University. For the Government to stand up and say they were not going to give way in the least was a perfect scandal in Parliamentary life. He did not agree that this was not an important matter; it might not be important in point of time, but it was in the point of view of those who took part in debate. Nobody could say that such an arrangement as that of the Government was fair. Whether they were right or wrong there was a strong feeling on the Opposition Benches that the Government did not adhere very rigidly to their pledges. This was not the first time that they thought the Government had said one thing and done another, but this was the worst case because it was the clearest. Was it not better that the point should be conceded? Was it not a matter of vital importance that there should not be a general impression on 849 the Opposition side of the House that the Government did not treat the Opposition fairly; that they did not stick to their pledges with the rigid and absolute integrity which the House had a right to expect? He ventured to hope that the division would not be taken under that impression. If it was, its effect would be felt for many sessions to come.
§ SIR F. BANBURY (City of London)said he was present during the remarks made by the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and those made by the Prime Minister, and there could not be the slightest doubt that when the Prime Minister got up, he made a graceful allusion to the right hon. and learned Member for Dublin University, and said he wished to make friends with the mammon of unrighteousness. He then said he was prepared to accept the Amendment standing in the right hon. Gentleman's name, and that he was surprised the right hon. Gentleman had made an attack on the Government when he intended to accept the Amendment but without pledging himself to the exact words. The interpretation always placed on such a statement was that the spirit and intention of the Amendment would be accepted. The proof of Hansard in the hands of the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer conclusively proved that the impression in their minds to-night was in the Prime Minister's mind. If, therefore, there was a misunderstanding, why did not the Prime Minister get up and correct the false impression that was abroad? Nothing then occurred until, after the intervention of two or three speakers, the Prime Minister left the House, and the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy got up and complained that the Prime Minister had given away his new Rule by accepting the Amendment of the right hon. and learned Member for Dublin University. Why then did not the President of the Board of Education get up and contradict that?
§ MR. MCKENNAIt would have been out of order.
§ SIR F. BANBURYThe right hon. Gentleman could have put up somebody else to do so.
§ MR. MCKENNAThe whole discussion was out of order.
§ SIR F. BANBURYsaid that that was a matter for Mr. Speaker to decide, but many times in his experience hon. and right hon. Gentlemen had contravened the rules in order to correct a misapprehension. When he later on went into the lobby, and the right hon. Member for Dublin University was congratulating himself in having got his Amendment accepted, he expressed the opinion to his right hon. friend that the hon. Member for the Kirkcaldy Burghs had put a spoke in his wheel; that the Government, having now found that they had made a mistake, would go back on their word. If the Government would only admit that they had made a mistake, they would at least show that they had the courage of their convictions; but they had refused to do that, and tried to make out that they meant something entirely different.
§ MR. WILLIAM RUTHERFORD (Liverpool, West Derby)said that, having heard what was stated in the debate yesterday, he desired to confirm the observations made by the hon. Member for the City of London. It seemed to him that, if there was no Amendment of the nature of that which was now before the House, or none such as had been suggested in the name of the Prime Minister, which, he presumed, was initiated to carry out the pledge that they understood had been given to them, it was clear that upon Report there would be the same proceedings as took place now. If it was desired, in consideration of the Committee Stage having been sent upstairs, to give some extra privileges to Members upon Report, it was a most astonishing way of giving those extra privileges simply to give them to the Government and the mover of the Motion. It was taking away a constitutional privilege from every Member of the House. It was not at present possible for the Government, any more than a private Member, to speak twice on a Motion or Amendment on Report. But to give that additional voice and right to speak to the Government of the day was to his mind, instead of making a concession to Members of the House, doing exactly the opposite, and placing them in a worse position than they would otherwise occupy. He was one of those who felt exceedingly the way in which they had been treated. There was not the slightest 851 doubt that they had all been led to believe that the Amendment of the right hon. and learned Member for the University of Dublin was going to be accepted. They were distinctly told so twice by the Prime Minister; they all thought so; the Member for Kirkcaldy thought so. Now they learned that the Amendment was not only not going to be accepted, but that they were actually going to be placed in a worse position upon Report than they would be in if
§ there was no Amendment at all. He thought it was rather a shocking state of affairs, and one which called for protest on the part of any Member who felt that statements, offers, or pledges given in the House ought to be carried out to the letter.

§ MR. FELL, (Great Yarmouth)in moving an Amendment to the effect that the Rule should not apply to Bills referred to in the Speech from the Throne at the commencement of the session, said the great distinction between this and other proposals to except Bills from the Rule was that it got rid of the difficulty, which was bound to arise in every case, of ascertaining what the nature of the Bills was. The Amendment made the matter perfectly clear, and there could be no dispute, when it came to a particular Bill, as to whether it was to remain in the House or be sent upstairs. The Government proposed to except Money Bills and Bills of a highly contentious character and the most important Bills in the Government programme. But it would always be open to the Government to say of a particular Bill that it was not of a contentious character, and the Opposition would feel that the Rule was not being fairly interpreted. A Government generally tried to put its best foot forward, and placed in its programme at the commencement of the session these Bills which it claimed to have obtained a mandate from the country to pass into law. If those important measures were exempted from the Rule they would know exactly what business they had before them to discuss during the session. If his Amendment were accepted, the Government would not be able to send important Bills upstairs in order to burke discussion. He begged to move.
§ MR. REMNANT (Finsbury, Holborn)formally seconded the Amendment.
§
Amendment proposed—
In line 10, at the end, to insert the words, 'Bills referred to in His Majesty's Gracious Speech from the Throne at the commencement of the session."—(Mr. Fell.)
§ Question proposed, "That these words be there inserted."
§ MR. MCKENNAsaid the hon. Member was mistaken in his understanding of the proposed Rule, because there could not be any acrimonious discussions of the nature to which he had alluded. It would be impossible for the Govern- 856 ment to accept the Amendment. He pointed out that this year, in the Speech from the Throne, such Bills as those for the establishment of a Court of criminal appeal, the regulation of hours in mines, the Amendment of the patent laws, and the improvement of the law relating to the valuation of property were mentioned, all of which were very proper Bills to be sent to a Grand Committee. The Amendment would prevent their being sent upstairs.
§ VISCOUNT HELMSLEY (Yorkshire, N. R., Thirsk)said the right hon. Gentleman had dismissed the Amendment in a somewhat cursory manner. He thought there was a good deal in the suggestion that at the beginning of the session Members should know what Bills were to be discussed on the floor of the House, and what Bills were to be sent upstairs. The Bills contained in the King's Speech might be divided into two classes, and classified as Bills of first-class and second-class importance. The danger, he foresaw, was that a Government overburdened with a programme of legislation which it attempted to drive through by sledge-hammer methods, might find as the session progressed that it would be impossible to complete its programme if all the measures of first-class importance were to be discussed on the floor of the House. To any Government in that position there would be a strong temptation to send up to a Grand Committee measures, even of first-class importance, which, according to the general practice, ought to be discussed upon the floor of the House. That danger could be obviated by the acceptance of some such Amendment as this. The Prime Minister had said over and over again that it was not intended to send measures of primary importance upstairs, and the House wanted to know what he meant by that.
§ MR. MCKENNAasked if the noble Lord could quote the Prime Minister's words.
§ VISCOUNT HELMSLEYsaid he had not with him the quotation, but he would 857 appeal to the recollection of the House as to whether what he had roughly stated was what the Prime Minister had said. He understood that the Prime Minister's words were "the important controversial measures of the session." He thought that expression of opinion by the Prime Minister ought to be embodied in the Standing Order. There was a very real danger that unless something of the kind were done measures which ought to be discussed
§ in Committee of the Whole House would be sent upstairs, merely because the Government found themselves in a difficulty. He hoped they would have a more satisfactory reply from the Government on this point.

Question put, and agreed to.
§
Amendment proposed—
In line 11, at the beginning, to insert the words 'Provided that,'"—(Mr. McKenna.)
§ Question proposed, "That these words be there inserted."
§ MR. LAURENCE HARDY (Kent, Ashford)said sub-section (2) of the Resolution which was now before the House proposed in certain cases to divide Bills into two parts, one part being reserved for the consideration of the whole House in Committee, and the other part sent upstairs for the consideration of a Standing Committee. As a Member of the Procedure Committee he knew that this was introduced last year in rather a curious way. It did not form part of the scheme of the Government as originally submitted to the Committee, but was suddenly, at a later stage of their proceedings, brought forward by the Chairman. The right hon. Gentleman the Member for the City of London, when examined as a witness, was asked some questions with respect to this Rule which did not appear on the Paper, and it was then announced that the Government had adopted the Rule which was practically the same as that now proposed as sub-section (2) of the Resolution. He thought there could be little doubt as to the genesis of that particular rule. It was brought forward at the time the Education Bill was about to be discussed in the House, and no doubt the Government intended to press forward the new Rules in order that they might be able to divide that Bill into two parts, and to retain the controversial clauses for consideration of the Committee of the Whole House, while the machinery part was sent upstairs to be dealt with by a Standing Committee. Whether or not it was the intention of the Government at that time to apply the Rule to the Education Bill, it was clear from the discussions that there was to be a rather new application of the proposal. A few nights ago the Government had stated what in their opinion the application of the sub-section should be in reference to a very important Bill of this session, namely, the Territorial and Reserve Forces Bill. The Government had indicated that the whole of that Bill could, under the sub-section, be sent upstairs, with the exception of one half-section of 862 one clause dealing with finance, which would be left to be considered by Committee of the Whole House. He could hardly imagine a more objectionable application of the sub-section, or one less likely to lead to advantageous discussion either in the House or in the Standing Committee. The House always heard two voices from the Government in regard to the construction of the new Rules. A few minutes ago the right hon. Gentleman had given his rendering, and shortly afterwards he had been entirely contradicted by the Chancellor of the Duchy as to the kind of Bills that were to be retained entirely in the House. The right hon. Gentleman had said that it was only small questions of finance or procedure that were to be sent upstairs for discussion, and that all other questions were to be kept downstairs. The Amendment he himself had moved in Committee in connection with this question was accepted at the time; but it formed no part of the plan of the Government. His suggestion was that if a Bill was to be divided they should insist on the principle of the Bill being established in the Whole House, only that portion connected with the machinery of the Bill being sent upstairs. In the Standing Order as now presented there was no suggestion of that kind—what portion of the Bill should be sent upstairs, and what portion should be retained. The only opportunity the House would be given for any explanation or debate on the Report stage would be an extremely short statement by the Minister in charge, or by the Member who opposed. Unlimited as the Government proposal was, he considered it a dangerous innovation, unlikely to facilitate business, or to lead to the good drafting of the Bills. It was, therefore, with regret that he suggested to leave out the words "provided that," in order eventually to leave out the whole sub-section.
§ MR. MCKENNAsaid that the addition of the two words, "provided that," was merely a drafting Amendment, and that they had been inserted to satisfy a suggestion of the Leader of the Opposition. As to the substantial question raised by the hon. Gentleman on the merits of the second part of the Rule, all they asked was to give the House the power of dividing a Bill, sending 863 the less controversial portions upstairs, and retaining the highly controversial portions in the House. The hon. Gentleman had said that the power to divide the Bill was a great encroachment on the privileges of the House, but he agreed that it would expedite the machinery parts of the Bill if they were sent upstairs to be considered by the Committee. The House had already decided that all Bills might go upstairs with the exception of those stated in the Rule.
§ VISCOUNT HELMSLEYWhat Bills?
§ MR. MCKENNAAll Bills with the exception of finance Bills. It was surely not unwise that the House should have the power to retain parts of Bills, and not be obliged to send the whole upstairs.
§ *SIR WILLIAM ANSONsaid that these Rules were landing the House in greater and greater confusion. It had been understood that all Bills were automatically to go upstairs with the exception of Bills imposing taxes, or dealing with finance; but now they were told that the Government would say how much of a Bill should be sent upstairs, and how much should be retained in the House. The Opposition had asked that all Bills involving great national and imperial considerations should be retained, but the Government had continually refused that. Now they were told that the Government were going to reserve certain portions of Bills to be retained, or to be sent upstairs. So far as at present appeared, it was proposed to give the Government of the day a perfectly arbitrary power to decide how much of a Bill was to be sent upstairs, and how much of it was to be kept in the House. He regarded the proposal as depriving the House of the opportunity of looking at a Bill as a whole, and as likely to land the business of the House in great confusion.
§ *SIR HENRY FOWLERsaid that the hon. Member constantly referred to the Government, whereas it was the House of Commons which decided the matter. All the authorities on procedure were agreed that the details and machinery parts of a Bill could be better settled in Committee upstairs, while those dealing with matters of principle should be retained for dis- 864 cussion in Committee of the Whole House. He maintained that of all the proposals there were none more important for carrying out efficiently the business of the House.
§ MR. FORSTER (Kent, Sevenoaks)asked the right hon. Gentleman whether he could not consider the Amendment which he had on the Paper, to provide that the Standing Committee should not proceed with the consideration of that portion of the Bill committed to it until the other portion had passed through Committee of the Whole House.
MR. DEPUTY SPEAKERsaid that the Amendment to which the hon. Gentleman was referring was a separate Amendment, and he could not allow it to be discussed at that point.
§ MR. FORSTERsaid he did not wish to discuss the Amendment; he was only asking whether the right hon. Gentleman would make some Amendment of the Standing Order in the direction he had suggested. The matter was discussed before the Procedure Committee, and he thought they were all agreed that if parts of Bills were to be reserved for consideration in Committee of the Whole House those portions of the Bills would necessarily contain the proposals which were vital to the Bill. He thought, therefore, it would be waste of time if the Standing Committee were to be occupied in discussing machinery which might be rendered useless by the discussions in Committee of the Whole House. He did not wish to labour the point in view of the ruling of Mr. Deputy Speaker, but he hoped the Government would see their way to amend their proposals in that sense. He would like to make one other suggestion. An Amendment might be made in Committee of the Whole House which was inconsistent with an Amendment made in the Committee upstairs. He thought it would be some guide to the Committee upstairs if they had before them the result of the deliberations in Committee of the Whole House. He hoped the right hon. Gentleman would tell them that an amendment would be proposed to meet these difficulties.
§ *SIR HENRY FOWLERsaid the matter had been considered, but he 865 believed that when the experts and the officials came to deal with the question the Government were advised that it would be better to leave the matter as it now stood, and that if the hon. Member's Amendment were accepted it would complicate matters much more than if things were left in their present state.
§ LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)said they were obliged to the right hon. Gentleman for referring to this matter again, but he pointed out that if the machinery clauses of a Bill came before a Grand Committee, and the operative clauses before a Committee of the Whole House, it was not only probable, but inevitable, that the Committee dealing with the machinery clauses would insert provisions and make alterations inconsistent with the main principle underlying the Bill. He thought that was a fair case for consideration, because unless the same Committee dealt with the whole of a Bill they were bound to get it considered from various points of view, with the result that one-half of the Bill would be dealt with from one point of view, and the other half considered in another aspect. For himself he did not think that the machinery clauses of a Bill could be detached or divorced from the parts containing the root principle, The principle of the Bill and its machinery ought to be unified, and it was an exceedingly unbusiness-like proceeding to say that certain clauses could be considered before one Committee, and that others which had to carry out the object expressed in those clauses might be considered by a different Committee. He hoped the Government and the House would reconsider the question, because he felt convinced that if they did not, Bills which came down to the House under the new condition of things would not be satisfactory or coherent.
§ *SIR FRANCIS POWELL (Wigan)said it seemed to him that the proposal of the Government in this particular was open to the objection which they had taken to their suggestions on former occasions, namely, that it displayed extreme vagueness. The language of which they were asked to approve was most general in its character. It contained no definition and no direction. All they had to go upon on this occasion, 866 as on many others, was a declaration by the Government of their intention and their view, but when Members on that side of the House desired to have those declarations enshrined in a clause they were always met with a mere negation. He believed a proposal framed as this one was, was unworkable, and that it would cause great embarrassment and must end in failure. He was grateful to the House for allowing him to speak at so late a stage of the proceedings, and it was a privilege to do so. But he felt very strongly that it was on the successful or unsuccessful working of these proposals that the excellence or otherwise of their future legislation must depend. This was not a Party, but a national question, upon which the whole working of the machinery of the House of Commons depended.
§ SIR F. BANBURYmoved an Amendment to limit the operation of the new Rules to the end of the Session of 1908. He said that his object was to ensure that the new Rules should practically be only sessional rules. He had a precedent for that proposal. Whether the Rules were good or bad they would bring about a great revolution in the course of business and the procedure of the House. That was admitted by the Prime Minister himself because the right hon. Gentleman described the changes as being of a revolutionary character, and justified them simply and solely by saying that in his opinion they would facilitate business. He thought the House would act wisely if they accepted his Amendment, so that if the Rules did not turn out to be a success the House would have authority to terminate them. On the other hand, if the Rules were successful they could be re-enacted. He had a precedent for his Amendment, and that was the action of Mr. Gladstone in 1882, when he established the two Grand Committees to which they were now going to add two more. Mr. Gladstone gave many good reasons to show there was considerable danger in connection with the new Committees. One reason he gave for establishing them was that they would transact business that interested only a part of the House, and he stated that that business, and that 867 business only, should go before them. Mr. Gladstone was most anxious that the business that had an interest for the whole of the House should remain in the floor of the House. That was quite different from the desire of the Prime Minister. Mr. Gladstone desired to set up the Committees as an experiment only. The very fears which they in opposition now had were these which Mr. Gladstone felt in 1882 in connection with a much milder alteration of the Rules of the House. While the Prime Minister was absent from the House the President of the Board of Education had told them that highly controversial Bills would not be sent upstairs. But the right hon. Gentleman also gave the House to understand that the only judge of what was a controversial Bill would be the Government of the day. He indicated that all Bills under these Rules, with the exception of money Bills, would be sent to the Committee, and that though the Government could send up highly controversial Bills, it would be in their power to keep them in the House. Therefore, the only safeguard the House had if against highly controversial Bills being sent upstairs would be the Government of the day. He had every confidence in the present Government in so far that he believed they would pledge themselves not to remit such Bills to a Committee, but that was no safeguard against a future Government. In this connection he would like to quote some words which the present Prime Minister used from the Opposition Front Bench on 6th February, 1902. The right hon. Gentleman then said—
After all there is an old phrase which may sound a mere artificial form of words that this House is the grand inquest of the Nation. But really that does express the foundation truth of the duty of the House. This is no mere factory establishment; it is not a mere counting house in which demands on the public purse are to be checked and approved and provided for. It is something much more and much more important. For my part I will go as far as to say that the function of the conduct of business is merely secondary to the maintenance of those rights of which I speak. It would be better that this House
should be less efficient in its transaction of business and should retain the full faculty of exercising the functions to which I refer than that should be diminished and that the House should become the most perfect legislative machine in the world."
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANHear, hear.
§ SIR F. BANBURYexpressed surprise that the right hon. Gentleman should cheer that quotation unless he proposed to accept the Amendment, because the Amendment intended to provide exactly the state of things contemplated by the words he had just read; that was to say, to provide that the control of the House should remain in the House even at the sacrifice of what the right hon. Gentleman believed these Committees were going to do, namely, facilitate legislation. He begged to move.
§ MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim, S.)seconded the Amendment for the reason that the Prime Minister had himself stated earlier in the debate that the very great change he proposed to make was of a highly experimental nature. If that was so, the right hon. Gentleman should treat it as an experiment and allow the House at the end of a couple of years to have an opportunity of either re-enacting the Rules or allowing them to lapse.
§
Amendment proposed—
In line 11, after the word 'House,' to insert the words 'until the end of the Session of 1908.'"—(Sir F. Banbury.)
SIR H. CAMPBELL BANNERMANsaid he could not accept the Amendment. He thought he could not do anything more likely to defeat the object they had in view than to put a limit to the opera-of the Rules.
§ Question proposed, "That those words be there inserted."
