HC Deb 14 June 1920 vol 130 c874
28. Viscount CURZON

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state whether the Government intend to proceed with the reform of the House of Lords during the present Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

As was stated on the 6th May in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Wood Green (Mr. G. Locker-Lampson), I fear it will not be possible to deal with this question this Session.

Lieut.-Colonel CROFT

Is it not a fact that in 1913 this matter was regarded as a pledge of honour the fulfilment of which, it was stated, brooked no delay?
