HC Deb 06 July 1911 vol 27 cc1325-6
Mr. HUNT

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of discharging the order for committing the Naval Prize Bill to a Standing Committee and of taking the Bill in Committee of the whole House?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Mr. HUNT

Have not the Government sent the Bill upstairs so that the people may not learn and realise their danger?

The PRIME MINISTER

Nothing of the kind. The proper moment to move to commit the Bill to the Whole House was when the Second Heading was taken. No Motion was made, and the ordinary consequences followed.

Mr. HUNT

Cannot you do what we ask now?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.
