§ Mr. HAROLD SMITHasked the Prime Minister whether he proposes to proceed with the Franchise Reform Bill through its Parliamentary stages before carrying out his undertaking to introduce legislation for the reconstitution of the Second Chamber upon a popular basis?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)We hope, as I have said, to proceed with the first mentioned Bill next year. There would obviously not be room or time in that Session for the legislation referred to in the second part of the question.
§ Mr. H. SMITHI beg to give notice I shall call attention to this matter at a convenient opportunity.
