HC Deb 18 March 1925 vol 181 c2257
46. Mr. GRANT

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the desire existent in this House that the question of the reform of the Second Chamber should be dealt with, he will state if and when this House may expect to hear a statement from the Government in regard to the matter?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

I am not in a position to make any statement on this subject at present.

Mr. GRANT

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise the disappointment which exists in consequence of the shelving of this question by successive Governments?

The PRIME MINISTER

We have not been in office as many months as we hope to be years.

Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

Will the Prime Minister consider the advisability of leaving things as they are?
