Part of Sessional Orders. – in the House of Commons at on 20 November 1934.
Mr Ramsay Macdonald
, Seaham
This is the Sessional Order which came under review by the Committee of Privileges, which sat recently on the Motion of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Epping (Mr. Churchill). The Committee of Privileges found that this Order, passed originally in 1700, was not perhaps quite applicable to modern conditions, certainly not as precisely and accurately as we would desire. Therefore, I wish to give notice that to-night I shall hand in a Motion that a Select Committee of the House be appointed to consider this Sessional Order and to make recommendations. In the meantime, I hope the House will pass the Order as it stands.
