HC Deb 18 July 1911 vol 28 c873
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the Prime Minister if he can state when the Resolution on Payment of Members will be placed upon the Paper; and when he can give a day for its discussion?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE (for the Prime Minister)

I am sorry that my right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to give a definite answer to my hon. Friend's question.

Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

If I put this question down next week will I get a definite reply, or will it be postponed again?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I think that is a question which the hon. Member should put to the Leader of the House.

Mr. LEE

While the Government are making up their minds as to the date on which this Resolution is to be moved, will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to put the terms of the Motion, which are of great interest to the Members of the House, on the Paper?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The Government will consider that.

Mr. JOHN WARD

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the question was put down at the request of the Prime Minister?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am not.
