THE VETO BILL
DEBATE IN THE LORDS. THE MONEY BILL QUESTION. (Received Last Night, 11.10 o'clock.) LONDON, June 29. In the House of Lords, during thf discussion on the Veto Bill, Lord Cromer emphasised the necessity for an impartial tribunal to decide what a Money Bill was. Lord Haldane said the proposed amendment would enable a Committee to control Parliament. It was impossible to separate the general policy from finance. Lord Loreburn held that the amendment would dethrone the House of Commons from a hitherto unassailable authority on questions concerning finance. Lord St. Aldwyn suggested the lotting up of a committee consisting of the Lord Chancellor, the Speaker and the Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords and the House of Commons, with a fifth person to be chosen by the other four. He declared that there was nothing to induce the Government to accept committee. If Lord Lansdowne's proposed amendment was insisted on, all possibility of an agreement would vanish.
