He confessed that the House of Lords was justified in i ejecting two of the Government's measures, as they had been submitted too late for due consideration. ; hence the present resolution. He maintained tliat the House of Commons maturely considered all bills, and that it was not necessary to waste time debating them again. Mr Balfour strongly denied that bills were adequately discussed in the House of Commons, and, referring to the recent-bye-elections, said that the Government ■was not in a position to revolutionise the constitution of the House of Lords.
