IMPERIAL POLITICS.
REFORM OF THE LORDS
(Received 9.20 a.m.) London, March 13
Mr Bonar Law (Leader of the Opposition) denounced the impropriety of passing great measures without reference to the electors. Mr Samuel said the Government’s duty was not to leave the reform of the Lords to the Unionists, who would only provide a colourable reform with restoration of the veto. The Government was blind if it did not anticipate that policy in the present Parliament. The new Second Chamber did not contain a vestige of hereditary principle, and under no circumstances should the absolute veto be restored. The amendment was rejected by 202 votes to IG9.
