Oral Answers to Questions — Imperial Conference. – in the House of Commons at on 6 December 1926.
Sir John Marriott
, City of York
asked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed to give the House of Commons the opportunity of discussing the Report of the Inter-Imperial Relations Committee of the Imperial Conference, 1026, apart from the specific legislative proposals which may be necessary to carry out the recommendations of the committee?
Mr Stanley Baldwin
, Bewdley
In the normal course of business, there will be many opportunities next Session when matters arising out of the Imperial Conference will be raised. It is not, therefore, proposed to allocate a special day for it during this Session.
Mr Stanley Baldwin
, Bewdley
I should like to have notice of that question. I do not happen to know.
Mr Stanley Baldwin
, Bewdley
I think discussion would be more likely to bear fruit if Members had time to think about it first.
The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
