§ Mr. JAMES HOPEasked the Prime Minister whether, in the event of the Resolutions on the Relations between the Two Houses being adopted by both Houses during the present Session, he proposes in this or next Session to introduce a Bill dealing with the Constitution of another place?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThis is a hypothetical question which does not seem to me to call at present for answer. As to the intentions of the Government, I must refer the hon. Member to my speech last Tuesday.
§ Mr. JAMES HOPEDo I understand that the Government, in making their proposals, have not contemplated what they are to do in the event of the proposals not being accepted?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, Sir. The hon. Member is not to understand that.
§ Mr. JAMES HOPEWhat am I to understand?
§ Mr. HARRY LAWSONAs the case is unprecedented will the right hon. Gentleman say by what procedure these Resolutions would be introduced into the House of Lords?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe hon. Member must wait and see.
