QUESTION OF REFORM. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. 6, 9.25 p.m. London, Dee. 5. In the House of Lorde, Lord Marlborough raised the question of the reform of the House of Lords. Lord Haldane said he doubted if the Government was justified in bringing forward any substantial measure for reform without submitting the matter to the country. Lord Cave, ‘on behalf of the Government. said there was no question of repealing the Parliament Act, but tn? powers and number of the House of lords must be dealt with as soon as possible. The Government had no present intention of making proposals to the House.
Lord Birkenhead said the matter was one of extreme urgency, as the day was very likely approaching when a Labor Government would be in power. Au«.N.Z. Cable Assn.
