AN ANGRY LORD
ATTACK ON GOVERNMENT. London, December 2. In the House of Lords, laird Carson, supporting Lord Harris’s motion demanding that the Landford and Tenant Bill be referred to a select committee, angrily attacked the Government, declaring: “The greatest calamity to the country is the Government. It has an overwhelming majority and will listen to nobody. It thinks all its members have to do is to come to the House and say, ‘We are the Conservative Government, upholders of the House of Lords; you must pass this bill without examination.’ If the House of Lords is unable to throw it out, amend or examine bills, what are we here for?” Ixirds Birkenhead, Cave, Reading. Burcham and others pointed out that owing to pressure of time the motion would kill the bill, and it would be interpreted by the country as a backstair way of throwing out the bill in the interests of landlords. laird Harris’s motion was defeated. —(A.P.A. and “Sun” cable).
