HC Deb 05 May 1913 vol 52 c1666
45. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether, before the House adjourns for the Whitsuntide recess, he will place upon the Order Paper a Resolution proposing a comprehensive time table, under which the Government of Ireland Bill, the Established Church (Wales) Bill, and the Temperance (Scotland) Bill may be passed through all their stages with the least possible delay and the least possible waste of the time of the House?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Government will state their views as to the future course of these measures when the Irish Bill comes on for Second Reading after the recess.

Mr. KING

Is it intended to have a new stage in the course of the discussion of these Bills, namely, for making suggestions to be laid before another place?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot make any suggestion until the Second Reading of the Irish Bill.
