HC Deb 06 November 1911 vol 30 c1270
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the Prime Minister whether he will reappoint the Select Committee on Procedure which was set up by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman in 1906, in order that they may consider and report on the subject of the limitation of the length of speeches and other matters connected with the closuring of Debate?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider my hon. Friend's suggestion, but can make no definite statement on the matter at present.

Mr. CRAWSHAY WILLIAMS

May I ask whether, in view of the fact that it has already been recommended by a Select Committee on Procedure that a Standing Order be passed for the purpose of enabling Bills which have been partly considered to be carried over to the succeeding Session, he will consider the advisability of passing such a Standing Order without the delay necessary to another Select Committee on the same subject?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must ask for notice.
