§ Viscount WOLMERasked whether the Prime Minister intends to fulfil the pledge, given on behalf of the Government in 1907, that they would put an end to the practice of blocking Motions?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI beg to refer the Noble Lord to what I said in Debate on this subject on 20th June, 1907, when I stated that one of the conditions precedent to any action being taken was that it should command general assent from all quarters of the House. That statement I have frequently repeated, and I regret that that condition is not as yet fulfilled.
