HC Deb 13 January 1913 vol 46 c1664
52. Mr. MORRELL

asked when the Government will carry out their expressed intentions with regard to Blocking Motions?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The matter has not been lost sight of, and my right hon. Friend hopes shortly to be able to give a date.

Mr. MORRELL

Do I understand that a day will be given for an actual discussion on the Motion for altering the Standing Orders?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I really do not like to say, but my recollection is that it was suggested that if there was general agreement as to the character of the Motion to meet the wishes of hon. Members there would be a discussion late one evening.

Mr. MORRELL

Has a sufficient measure of general agreement yet been arrived at?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I think my hon. Friend had better put that question to the Prime Minister.
