HC Deb 14 April 1913 vol 51 cc1619-20
46. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether he has noted the slow progress of the Revenue Bill, the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-health) Bill, and the Army (Annual) Bill; and whether, with the objects of expediting needed legislation, obviating the necessity of an Autumn Session, and allowing hon. Members to know beforehand what duties await them, be will propose a comprehensive time-table embracing these and other Government measures?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid I do not see my way to adopt my hon. Friend's proposal.

Mr. KING

Has this valuable suggestion been duly considered?

The PRIME MINISTER

yes, most carefully.
