HC Deb 18 August 1909 vol 9 c1383
Lord ROBERT CECIL

In view of the breakdown of the procedure of this House, Will the right hon. Gentleman reconsider his decision not to appoint a Committee on procedure?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Noble Lord knows that he and I are quite agreed about this, and that we want to see the Committee set up, and its labours begun. But the labours which hon. Members have undertaken now are so severe that it is hardly fair to call on them to begin an inquiry so prolonged as this. If the Noble Lord likes, I will certainly give notice of the appointment and of the terms of reference.

Lord ROBERT CECIL

Thank you.
