HC Deb 08 September 1909 vol 10 c1307
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of so enlarging the scope of the Motion on Procedure set down in the name of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for the Saffron Walden Division, as to enable the Select Committee to include in its deliberations the hours of the sittings and the periods of the year during which the House is usually in Session?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

The hon. Member will see from the answer that I gave yesterday to a question of the hon. and learned Member for Waterford that it is not proposed to persist in the Motion, for the Select Committee this Session.

Mr. KEIR HARDIE

May I ask whether it will be set up early next Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

It is too early, I think, to arrange that.
