HC Deb 18 July 1911 vol 28 cc865-6
Sir GEORGE TOULMIN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, to enable Members more readily to identify new proposals of the Government on Clauses which they intend to alter, he would, in view of the large number of pages of Amendments to the National Insurance Bill, cause the Government Amendments to be printed and circulated as a separate Paper, at least once each week?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)

I think there is a good deal to be said for this suggestion and I will consult the authorities of the House upon it.

Mr. KEIR HARDIE

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of printing the Government Amendments in different type?

Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

When may we expect to see the Government Amendments, anywhere? I think there are only two on the Paper at present.

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I think there are a good many more than that. I have a few more in regard to the doctors which I shall put down after the meeting of the doctors on Friday or Saturday.

Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

When will we see the new proposal as to the separation of the women's fund from the men's fund?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will put it down at the end of this week, or probably to-day or to-morrow.

Mr. CHIOZZA MONEY

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the question of the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydvil (Mr. Keir Hardie) as to printing the Government Amendments in different type?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will consult the authorities of the House on the subject.
