§ SIR EDWARD SASSOONI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he contemplates securing the assent of the House this session to the recommendations of the Select Committee on Anticipatory Motions, which enlist the sympathy of all sections of the House.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThat must depend entirely upon the feeling of the House. Provided we can come to an agreement on the matter unanimously and without discussion, I see no reason why a Standing Order giving effect to the recommendation of the Select Committee should not be adopted.
§ LORD R. CECILWhat steps does the right hon. Gentleman propose to take in order to arrive at an agreement?
§ SIR. H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe usual steps. I do not think there will be much difficulty about that.
§ MR. R. DUNCAN (Lanarkshire, Govan)Do not the usual steps consist of standing still?
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThat is sometimes the wisest thing to do.
§ MR. BOWLES (Lambeth, Norwood)May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, as a matter of fact, he intends to take any steps in order to arrive at an agreement?
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI do not think the hon. Member ought to ask me that.
