HC Deb 07 December 1908 vol 198 c96
MR. LAMONT (Buteshire)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister when he proposes to take the Second Reading of the Commons Bill [Lords.]

MR. ASQUITH

I hope this Bill may be regarded as uncontroversial, and, if so, that it may pass its Second Reading and other stages after eleven o'clock between now and the end of the session.

MR. CROOKS

Is that a Bill for the abolition of the House of Commons? I see it comes down from the Lords.

MR. ASQUITH

The hon. Member had better possess himself of a copy of the Bill.
