HC Deb 29 June 1914 vol 64 c32
53. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the proposal to limit the length of speeches in this House continues to gain favour with high authorities; and whether, with a view to making an experimental test, he will support the proposal to limit the length of speeches during the remaining days of Supply and on the Indian Budget this Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

I understand that this matter is being considered by the Committee on Procedure, and I think it would be well to await their Report before taking any action even of an experimental nature with regard to it.

Mr. KING

Would it not be well for the Committee to make some experiments on which they could base their recommendations?
