§ Mr. HUNTasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that the House of Lords is now unable to prevent any Bill from being passed into law, he can now say when the Government proposes to bring in a Bill for creating a new Second Chamber with the power to refer important Bills to the judgment of the people?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not able to name the date on which any proposals of the Government on this subject will be submitted to Parliament.
§ Mr. HUNTMay I ask whether, in view of the fact that the right hon. Gentleman gave the House to understand that the formation of a reformed Second Chamber was urgent, he can say whether the reformed Second Chamber will be brought into existence next Session, or before the Home Rule Bill receives the Royal Assent?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have just said that I am not able to name a date.
