HC Deb 15 April 1929 vol 227 c18
25. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now make a statement in regard to the policy of the Government for the reform of the House of Lords?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Captain GARRO-JONES

In view of the fact that little time is left, can the right hon. Gentleman undertake to make a statement to the House before the Dissolution? If not, can he undertake that he will not make a statement in public before he makes a statement to the House?

The PRIME MINISTER

When the hon. Member's party announce their policy first in this House, I shall be pleased to consider the suggestion.

Captain GARRO-JONES

Is the Prime Minister aware that so far as this party's policy is relevant, it has been announced in the House. Moreover, is he aware that we have been asking him questions on this vital subject for four years and have not been able to get a reply?
