§ MR. ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he can see his way, without loss of time, to propose to the House the setting up of some machinery, of such a nature as to be satisfactory to the House, the operation of which will secure a reasonable and systematic allocation of time as between different classes of business and measures and different parts of the same measure, and avoid the necessity of harsh and summary applications of what has become known as the guillotine closure.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI think, as I have often said before, that this would be a most desirable object; and I shall be glad if time can be found to introduce regulations to give effect to it.
