§ VISCOUNT HALIFAXMy Lords, I should like to ask the noble and learned Lord on the Woolsack when the Bill containing the new form of declaration on accession by the Sovereign will be in the hands of Members. I am informed that it has not yet been printed, and, if the Second Reading is proposed to be taken to-morrow, the absence of the printed Bill is very inconvenient.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (The Earl of HALSBURY)I can give the noble Lord no information as to the printing arrangements of this House. The noble Marquess who presented the Bill on Friday explained that two small alterations were proposed from the form in the Report presented by the Committee. I am afraid I cannot tell the noble Viscount when copies of the Bill will be available. They ought to have been distributed before this, but the printing arrangements of the House are not infrequently the subject of complaint.
