§ Mr. DILLONI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he proposes to move the appointment of the Military Service (Review of Exceptions) Act Select Committee at the beginning of Public Business to-day, and whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Irish Party have not got their proper proportion of the members of that Committee, because, according to immemorial usage they are entitled to two members out of eleven?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWYes, I did propose to move it immediately at the end of Questions. My attention had not been called to the fact until this morning, when a representative of the Irish party came to me. I believe it is accurate to say that on such committees there, always have been two members of the Irish party. If the hon. Member will propose an additional member I shall not be prepared to oppose it.
§ Mr. DILLONI can do that to-morrow.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWYou can do it today.
§ Mr. DILLONI cannot do it until tomorrow.
§ Mr. SPEAKERIt is necessary to give notice. It can be done to-morrow.
