Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 25 July 1922.

I do not think so, but if that point really has the substance in it which the hon. Member thinks it has, I will endeavour to see whether some Motion may be made in Another place. I suggest, however, that if I do meet the point, if I make it imperative on the authority to endeavour to provide for this deficiency by reserves, increased charge, or postponement. I hope the hon. and learned Member for Springburn (Mr. Macquisten) will agree to that.
During a debate members of the House of Commons traditionally refer to the House of Lords as 'another place' or 'the other place'.
Peers return the gesture when they speak of the Commons in the same way.
This arcane form of address is something the Labour Government has been reviewing as part of its programme to modernise the Houses of Parliament.
