§ 65. Sir G. YOUNGERasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the personal opinion of the Colonial Secretary, as expressed by him in this House, that a similiar policy to that taken with regard to the electoral position should be extended to the consideration of the constitution and powers of the Second Chamber; and whether the Government is prepared to accept that view and to act upon it?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe Government recognise the urgency of this subject and are sympathetically considering the suggestion in my hon. Friend's question.
§ 66. Sir G. YOUNGERasked the Prime Minister whether he will see that the Fran chise Bill to be formulated on the basis of Mr. Speaker's Conference Report is presented in such a form that the House will have the fullest freedom to deal with the position of the conscientious objector?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe Bill must of necessity be in a form to permit the discussion of such subjects if the House desires it.
§ Mr. OUTHWAITEShall we also be able to discuss the question of the dispatch of men over military age who have not taken part in the War?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am informed that the nature of the Bill will make it possible for the House to discuss these subjects.
