HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 c1599
48. Sir HENRY CRAIK

asked the Prime Minister if, before instituting anything in the nature of a conference upon the constitution and powers of a Second Chamber, he will have regard to the fact that a considerable body of opinion in the country is opposed to further conferences of this nature during the continuance of the War?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The considerations referred to in the question were taken into account by the Government before we decided to arrange for this conference.
