HC Deb 16 November 1911 vol 31 c514
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked whether the Government proposes to follow the constitutional practice of advising a dissolution of Parliament immediately after the passage of the Franchise Reform Bill announced for next Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

It would be premature at present to make any statement on this subject.

Mr. BOTTOMLEY

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman, with great respect, to consider the propriety of framing his answers on other principles than the maximum of courtesy and the minimum of information?
