Privilege,

Mr.  Patrick  Aloysius  MlHagh,  returned  as  a 
Member  for  North  Sligo  and  North  Leitrim, 
stated  that he elected  to  sit  for  North  Sligo. 

Resolved, That  no Peer  of  the  Realm,  except 
such Peers of  Ireland as shall, for the time  being, 
be  actually  elected,  and  shall  not  have  declined 
to  serve,  for  any  County,  city,  or  borough  of 
Great  Britain,  hath  any  right  to  give  his  vote 
in  the  Election  of  any  Member  to  serve  in 
Parliament. 

A  Motion  was  made,  and  the  Question  was 
proposed,  That  Lord  Atkinson,  a  Peer   of 
Parliament,  has, by  his  action  in  voting  at the 
recent  Election  in  the  Saint  Stephen's  Green 
Division  of  the  City  of  Dublin,  been  guilty 
of  a breach  of  the  Privileges  of  this  House-— 
(Mr. Dillon)  :—And   a Debate arising thereupon  ; 
Mr.  Speaker  stated  that  he  had  received  a 
letter  from  Lord  Atkinson,  which  he  read  to 
the  House^  as folJowcth : 

that  any  question  could  be  raised  as to my  right 
to  exercise  the  franchise* since  my  Patent  had 
not then been  delivered  to me, nor had I  received 
any  summons  to  the  House  of  Lords.  Since 
my  attention  has,  however,  been  called  to  the 
matter,  I  think  I  may  have  offended  against 
the  spirit  of  the  Resolution  of  the  House  of 
Commons,  if  not  the  letter. 
I  therefore  regret 
having  voted,  and  beg  through  you  to  apologise 
to  the  House if  I  have  unwillingly  in  any  way 
invaded  its  Privileges. 

Believe  me, 

Yours  sincerely,

at  such Elections  in  Great  Britain  respectively 
where  such Peer  shall appear  as a candidate,  or 
by  himself,  or  any  others,  be  proposed  to  be

Resolved,  That  if 

it  shall  appear  that  any  Witnesses,  


person  hath  been  tampering  with  any  Witness

against such  offender. 

Ordered,  That the Commissioners of the Police  Metropolitan 

of  the  Metropolis  do  take  care  that, during the  Police.

Dublin.   At  the  time  I  voted  I  did  not  think

a most Gracious  Speech  from the Throne to birth 
Houses  of  Parliament;  of  which  Mr;  Speaker 
said  he  had,  for  greater  accuracy,  obtained  a 
Copy;  which  he read  to the House* as followeth  : 

My  Lords, and  Gentlemen, 

The  lamented  death of  the King  of  Denmark, 
to  whom  I  was  united  by,  the  closest  ties  of 
family  and  affection, has caused me much sorrow; 
and  I  feel  convinced  that  the  sympathy  of  the 
country  will  be  extended  to  Queen  Alexandra) 
who,  in  consequence  of her  severe  bereavement, 
is  prevented  from  accompanying  me  on  the 
important  occasion  of  the  opening  of  the  new 
Parliament. 

The  Prince  and  Princess  of  Wales  left  last 
autumn  for  India,  and  are  visiting  as  many 
portions  of  my  vast  Empire  as  time  will  admit 
of.  The  reception  they  have  met  with  from  all 
classes  has  been  most  gratifying  to  me, ahd  I 
trust  that  their  visit  will  tend  to  strengthen, 
among  my  subjects  in  India,  the  feeling  of 
loyalty  to  the  Crown  and  attachment  to  this 
country. 

It  was with  real  satisfaction  that  I  received 
the  King  of  the  Hellenes,  who  is  so  closely 
related  to  me,  as  my  guest  during  the  autumn. 
His  Majesty's  visit  will;  I  am confident,  confirm 
the  friendly  ties which  have  so  long  governed 
the  relations  existing  between  the two  countries: 
My  relations  with foreign  Powers  continue  to 

be  friendly. 

I  rejoice  that  the  war  between  Russia  And 
Japan  has  been  brought  to  an  end  by  the 
satisfactory  conclusion  of  the  negotiations Com­
menced  last  August,  and  due  to  the  initiative 
of  the  President  of  the  United  States*  which 
resulted  in  an honourable  peace. 

An  Agreement  has  been  concluded  with  the 

Government  of  the  Emperor  of  Japan  pro­
longing  and  extending  that  which  was  made 
between  the two  Governments  in  January  1902. 
Its text  has already  been  made  public. 

The  Conference  summoned  by  the  Sultan  of 
Morocco to  consider  the  introduction  of  reforms 
into  his  kingdom  has  assembled  at  Algeciras, 
and  delegates  from  the  Powers  signatories  of 
the  Madrid  Convention  of  1880  are  engaged 
in  deliberations,  which  still  continue. 
It  is 
earnestly  to  be  hoped  that  the  result  of  these 
negotiations  may  be  Conducive  to  the  main­
tenance  gf  peace  among  all  nations,

1906.  [No. 4. 

The  dissolution  of the  union  between  Sweden 
and  Norway  has  been  peacefully  accomplished, 
and,  in  accordance  with  the  declared  desire  of 
the  Norwegian  people,  my  son-in-law  and 
daughter,  the  Prince  and  Princess  Charles  of 
Denmark,  have  ascended the  Throne of  Norway 
as King  and  Queen. 

The  insurrectionary  movement  in  Crete  has 
subsided,  and  the  four  protecting  Powers  have 
appointed  Commissioners  with  a  view  to  the 
introduction  of  reforms  in the  island. 

The  condition  of  the  Macedonian  vilayets, 
though  in  some  respects  improved,  continues 
to  give  cause  for  anxiety.  The  Sultan  has 
agreed  to the  appointment  of  an  International 
,  Financial  Commission  to  supervise  the financial 
administration  of  these  provinces,  and  I  trust 
that this may lead  to the introduction of  salutary 
reforms  and  the  improvement of  the  condition 
of  the  population. 

Papers  will  be  laid  before  you  respecting 

Army  administration  in  India. 

In  order  to  establish  responsible  government 
in  the  Transvaal  Colony,  I  have  decided 
to  recall  the  Letters  Patent  which  provided 
for  the  intermediate  stage  of  representative 
government,  and  to  direct  that  the  new  Con­
stitution  be  drawn  up with  as  much  expedition 
as  is  consistent  \yith  due  care  and  deliberation 
in  all  particulars.  The  elections  to  the  first 
Legislative  Assembly,  which  had  been  expected 
in  July,  must  accordingly  be  postponed,  but 
it  is  not  anticipated  that  the  additional  delay 
need  extend  beyond  a few  months. 

The  directions  which  have  been  given  that 
no  further  licences  should  be  issued  for  the 
importation  of  Chinese  coolies  will  continue 
in  force  during  that  period. 

A  Constitution  granting  responsible govern­
ment  will  also  be  framed  for  the  Orange  River 
Colony. 

It  is my  earnest  hope  that  in  these  colonies, 
as  elsewhere  throughout  my  dominions,  the 
grant  of  free  institutions  will  be  followed  by 
an increase  of  prosperity  and of  loyalty  to  the 
Empire. 

The  Colonial  Conference,  which,  in  existing 
circumstances,  cannot  be  held  this  year,  has 
been  postponed  until  the early  part of  next year, 
with  the  concurrence  of  the  Colonial Govern­
ments  concerned. 

Gentlemen of  the  House of  Commons, 

I  note  with  satisfaction  that  the  imports  and 
exports  of  the  country  continue 
to  show  a 
steady  and  accelerating  increase,  and,  together 
with  the  growing  activity  of  trade  at  home, 
industries  of  my  people 
indicate  that  the 
are,  in  general,  in  a  sound  and  progressive 
condition. 

The  additions  which  have  been  made 
in 
recent  years to  the  national  expenditure  and  to 
the capital  liabilities  oil the  State  are  matters  to 
which  I  invite your  earnest  attention. 

The  Estimates  of  charge  which  will  be  laid 
before you  will  be  presented  in  as  moderate a 
form  as time  and  circumstances have  allowed. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

My  Ministers have  under  consideration  plans 
for  improving  and  effecting  economies  in  the 
system of  government  in  Ireland,  and  for intro­
ducing  into  it  means  for  associating  the  people 
with  the  conduct  of  Irish  affairs.  It  is  my 
desire  that  the  government  of  the  country,  in 
reliance  upon  the  ordinary  Law,  should  be 
carried  on,  so  far  as  existing  circumstances 
permit,  in a  spirit  regardful  of  the wishes  and 
sentiments of  the  Irish  people  ;  and  I  trust  that 

this  may  conduce  to  the  maintenance  of  tran­
quillity  and  of  good  feeling  between  different 
classes  in the  community. 

The  social  and  economic  conditions  of  the 
rural  districts  in  Great  Britain  require  careful 
Inquiries  are  proceeding  as  to 
consideration. 
the  means  by  which  a  larger  number  of  the 
population  may  be  attracted  to  and  retained  on 
the  soil, and they will  be  completed  at no distant 
date. 

A  Bill  will  be  laid  before  you  at  the  earliest 
possible  moment for amending  the  existing  Law 
with  regard  to  Education 
in  England  and 
Wales. 

Bills  will  also be  submitted  to  you  for  dealing 
with  the  Law  regulating  Trade  Disputes,  and 
for  amending  the  Workmen's  Compensation 
Acts;  for  the  further  equalisation   of  Rates in 
the Metropolis, and for amending the  Unemployed 
Workmen  Act. 

Your  attention  will  also  be  called  to  measures 
dealing with  the  Merchant  Shipping  Law;  for 
amending  and  extending  the  Crofters'  Holdings 
(Scotland)  A c t  ; 
for  amending  the  Labourers 
(Ireland)  Act  ;  for checking commercial corrup­
tion  ;  for improving  the  Law  regarding  certain 
Colonial  Marriages;  for abolishing  the  property 
qualification  required  of  County  Justices 
in 
England,  and for  the  prevention  of plural  voting 
in  Parliamentary  Elections. 

Your  labours  upon  these  and  upon all  other 
matters  I  humbly  commend  to  the  blessing  of 
Almighty  God. 

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being  King's speech

take drastic steps to reduce  the drain on  national 
income,  and  to  this  end to  press for the  inclusion 
of  the  question  of  the  reduction  of  armaments 
by  international  agreement  in the  agenda  of  the 
forthcoming  Hague  Conference—(Mr.  Vivian) ; 
An  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made to 
the  Question,  in  line  6,  by  leaving  out from  the 
word  "  income "  to  the  end  of  the  Question, in

deem  necessary  for  the  defence  of  their  terri­
tories "—(Mr.  Bellairs),—instead  thereof.

ture 
lessens  national  and  commercial  credit, 
intensifies the unemployed  problem, reduces  the 
resources  available  tor  social  reform, and presses 
with  exceptional  severity  on  the 
industrial 
classes, and  it  therefore  calls  upon  the Govern­
ment  to  take  drastic  steps  to  reduce  the  drain 
on  national  income, and  to  this  end  to  press for

And  in  further  pursuance  of  the said  Acts 
we  certify  that  at  the  conclusion  of  the said 
trial  we differed  as to  whether  the said  Arthur 
Fell,  being  the  Member  whose  Election  and 
Return  were  complained  of,  was  duly  elected 
and  returned,  the  difference  being  upon  the 
question  whether  one John  George  Baker was 
or  was not proved  to  have  been  an agent of the 
said  Arthur  Fell. 

I,  the said  Sir William  Grantham,  determined 
that  the  said' Arthur  Fell  was  duly  elected and 
returned,  and I,  the  said  Sir  Arthur  Mosely
Channell,  determined  that  the said  Arthur  Fell 
was not duly  elected  and  returned,  and that the 
Election  was void  on the ground  of  bribery  by 
his agent  ; and we do hereby  certify  in  writing
such our determinations to you.

And  whereas  charges  were  made  in  the said 
Petition  of  corrupt  and illegal  practices  having 
been  committed  at  the  said  Election,  we, in
further  pursuance  of  the  said  Acts,  report  as 
follows:— 

1.  That  no	  corrupt  or  illegal  practice  was
proved  to have  been  committed by,  or  with the 
knowledge  and  consent  of, the  said Arthur  Fell. 
2.  That  the persons  whose names  are set out 
in  the  schedule  hereto  were  proved  to  have 
been guilty of the corrupt  practice of bribery. 

3.  That  although  it was proved  that  corrupt 
practices  were  committed  at the said  Election,
it was not proved, nor have we reason to believe,
that  corrupt  or  illegal  practices  extensively
prevailed  at the  said  Election. 

4.  We certify  that  we differed  as to  whether 
the  said Arthur  Fell  was  guilty  by his  agent of 
the corrupt practice  of bribery, and  report  that,
saving this, the said  Arthur  Fell was not guilty
by  his agents of any corrupt  practice. 

5.  That  the said  Arthur Fell  was not  guilty

by his agents of any  illegal  practice. 

6.  That  we  have  given  certificates  of  idem­
nity  to all the persons  whose  names  are set  out 
in  the  schedule  hereto,  except  John  George 
Baker and William  Mori.

12th,  14th,  15th, and  16th  days of  May  of  this 
year  we  duly  held  a  Court  at  the  Sessions 
House,  Maidstone,  for  the  trial  of,  and did  try, 
the  Election  Petition  for  the  Borough   of Maid­
stone  between  Sir  Francis  Evans,  Baronet,

Viscount  Castlereagh,  Respondent. 

And  in further  pursuance  of  the said  Acts  we 
certify  that  at  the  conclusion  of  the  said  trial

3.  That  corrupt  or  illegal  practices  were  not 
proved to  have,  nor  have  we  reason  to  believe 
that corrupt  or illegal  practices have, extensively 
prevailed  at the said  Election. 

4.  That  no  Candidate  has  been  proved  to 
have  been  guilty  by  his  agents  of  any  corrupt

Election  of  a Member  of  Parliament  for  the 
City  of  Worcester,  holden  on  the  17th  day 
of January  1906. 

To  the  Right  Honourable  the  Speaker  of 

the  House  of  Commons. 

We,  Sir  John  Compton  Lawrance,  Knight, 
and  Sir Joseph  Walton,  Knight,  Judges  of  the 
High  Court  of  Justice,  and  two  of  the  Judges 
on the rota  for  the  time  being  for  the  trial  of 
Election  Petitions  in  England  and  Wales,  do 
hereby  certify,  in  pursuance  of  the  said  Acts, 
that upon  the  twenty-second  to the  twenty-sixth 
days of May  in this  year  we  duly  held  a  Court 
for  the  trial  of,  and  did  try,  the  Election 
Petition  for  the  City   of  Worcester,  between 
Henry  Devenish  Harben  and  Richard  Cadbury, 
Petitioners,  and  George  Henry  Williamson, 
Respondent.  And,  in  further  pursuance  of 
the said Acts,  we  certify  that  at  the  conclusion 
of  the  said  trial  we  determined  that  the  said 
George  Henry  Williamson,  being  the  Member 
whose  Election  and  Return  were  complained 
of  in the  said  Petition,  was not  duly  elected  and 
returned,  and  that  the  said  Election  was  void. 
And  we  do  hereby  certify  in  writing  such  our 
determination  to  you. 

And  whereas  charges  were  made  in  the  said 
Petition  of  corrupt  and  illegal  practices  having 
been  committed  at  the  said  Election,  we,  in 
further  pursuance  of  the  said  Acts,  report  as

2.  That  the  persons  whose  names  appear  in

the terms of  the Bill,  the  best means of  providing 
for  the  supply  of  electrical  energy  in  bulk,  and 
for  power  and  motive  purposes,  and  to  report 
thereon ;  That  they  had  agreed,  with  regard  to 
the  said  Instruction,  to  the  following  Special 
Report: — 

Local 
Government 
Provisional 
Orders 
( N o.  11)  Bill. 
[Provisional 
Orders 
confirmed.] 

The  Chairman  of  Ways  and  Means  reported 
from  the  Committee  on  the  Local  Government 
Provisional  Orders (No.  11) Bill;  That  they  had 
considered  the  said  Orders;  that the  said  Orders 
ought  to  be  confirmed;  and  that  they  had 
directed  him to  report  the  Bill,  without Amend­
ment, to the  House. 

Ordered,  That  the  Report  do  lie  upon  the 

Table. 

1.  The  main  general  object  of  the  Bill  is to  Special 
enable  the  London  County  Council  to  supply  Keport. 
in  b u lk   to  authorised  distributors 
electricity 
(that 
is,  Local  Authorities  or  Companies 
authorised  by  Act  of  Parliament  or  Provisional 
Order)  within  the  Administrative  County  of 
London  and  certain  adjoining  boroughs  and 
districts in the  Counties of  Essex, Kent,  Surrey, 
and  Middlesex. 

Ordered, That  the  Bill  be  read  the third  time 

to-morrow. 

The  Chairman  of  Ways  and  Means  reported 
from  the  Committee  on  the  Local  Government 
Provisional Order (Housing  of Working  Classes) 
Bill;  That  they  had considered  the  said  Order; 
that  the  said  Order  ought  to  be  confirmed; 
and  that  they  had  directed  him  to  report  the 
Bill,  without  Amendment, to the  House, 

2.  The  Bill  proposes, in  addition, to  confer  on 
the  Council  powers  to  supply  electrical  energy 
direct  to railways, docks,  tramways, and  various 
Other  undertakings. 

3.  And the  Bill  also proposes  to confer  on  the. 
Council  power  to  transform, distribute,  and  use 
electrical  energy  in  various  buildings,  works,  or 
undertakings  belonging  to  or  maintained  by 
them,  Or  under  their  control  ;  but  this  power 
is  not  to  apply  to  schools,  and  various  other

buildings, parks,  open  spaces, pleasure  grounds, 
or  workmen's  dwellings, without  the  consent  in 
writing  of  the  authorised  distributor. 

4.  The  Council  do  not,  except  as  above, 
propose  to  supply  electrical  energy  direct  to 
any  individual  consumer  wholly  situate  in  the 
area  of  any  authorised  distributor  without  the 
consent of the  Authority  concerned. 

5.  It  is  important  to  bear  in mind  that  the 
supply  of  electrical  energy  in the Administrative 
County  of  London  and adjoining  districts is  now 
in  the  hands  of  various  Local  Authorities  and 
Companies.  Powers for this purpose  have  been 
granted  under  the  Electric  Lighting  Acts,  and 
cover  practically  the  whole  of  the  County  of 
London  and the  greater portion  of  the  adjoining 
districts  included  in  the  Bill.  At  the  present 
time  these  powers  are  held  within  the  County 
of  London  by  sixteen  Local  Authorities  and 
thirteen  Companies,  and  with  regard  to  most  of 
the  latter  the  Local  Authorities  are  entitled  to 
purchase the  undertakings  in  the year  1931. 

6.  The  Tables  " A  "  and  "  B "  appended  to 
this  Report  show  the  Orders  now held  by  Local 
Authorities  and  Companies  respectively,  the 
areas  to  which  such  Orders  relate,  and  the 
extent  to  which  competition  within  those  areas 
has been  authorised. 

In  addition  to  these  Orders, powers  for  the 
compulsory  acquisition of  land for power  stations 
and  other  purposes have been obtained by special 
Acts   of  Parliament  in  respect  of  various parts 
of  tbe  County  of  London.  The  Table  " C  " 
appended  to  this  Report  gives  a  list  of  these 
special  Acts. 

These  Tables  have  been  furnished  to  the 

Committee  by  the  Board  of  Trade. 

7.  Up  to the present time the capital expended 
by  Local  Authorities  has been, in round  figures, 
about  £6,500,000,  and  by  Companies  about 
£12,000,000,  making  a total  capital  expenditure 
of  about  £18,500,000.  Capital  expenditure  is 
stated  to  be  proceeding  at  the  rate  of  about 
£1,000,000  a year. 

8.   A t  the  time  the  Electric  Lighting  Acts 
were  passed  the  principal  question  was  one  of 
light,  and  it  was  provided  that  in  the  area of 
each  Local  Authority  there  should  be a distinct 
and  separate  undertaking. 

9.,  No  doubt  this  system  was  adopted  to 
maintain  the  power  given  to  each  Local 
Authority  to  purchase  the  undertaking  in  1931. 
The  effect  has  been  to  cause  a  large  number 
of  separate  stations to be  constructed. 

10.  The  Committee  are  of  opinion  that  the 
best  means  of  providing 
for  the  supply  of 
electrical  energy  in  bulk,  and  for  power  and 
motive  purposes,  is  by  one  large  and  inclusive 
scheme,  extending  not  only  over  the  entire 
County  of  London,  but  also  to  adjoining 
boroughs  and  districts. 

11.  For  the  purpose  of  carrying  out  such  a 
,	  scheme  some  Central  Authority  is required with 
ample statutory powers and corresponding  duties. 
In  addition  to  the  proposal  of  the  London 
County  Council,  various  other  proposals  have 
been  placed  before  the  Committee.  After 
giving  full  consideration  to  this  question  the 
Committee  are  of  opinion  that  the  London 
County  Council  should be  the  Authority. 

12.  The  Bill  before  the  Committee  is  solely 
permissive.  No  obligation  is  imposed  on  the 
Council  to  give  a  supply  to  any of  the  Local 
Authorities  or  Companies;  in fact, no  obligation 
is  imposed  on  the  Council  to  earry  into  effect 
any  of  the powers sought  by  the Bill,  and there 
i 

V o i»  161.

287 
is  no  prescribed  time  either  for  beginning  or 
for  carrying  out  the  work.  The  Committee 
consider  that  the  Council  should  be  under  such 
obligations, and  that under  fair  and  reasonable 
terms  and  conditions  any  authorised  distributor 
(whether  a  Local  Authority  or  a  Company) 
should have  the right  to require  a bulk  supply. 

13.  The  adoption  of  these  proposals  would 
alter the  whole  scope  and  intention  of  the  Bill, 
but it would, at the  same time, make the  measure 
more  practical  and  effective for all  purposes. 

14.  Authorised  distributors  made  a  most 
strenuous  opposition  to  Clause  35  of  the  Bill. 
This is a most important Clause, empowering the 
Council  to  make representation to  the  Board  of 
Trade  that  the prices  charged  by  any authorised 
distributor  were  excessive  and  ought  to  be' 
reduced, or that the  methods of  charge  ought  to 
be  altered,  and after  an inquiry  such  Order  was 
to  be  made  as, in the  opinion  of  the  Board  of 
Trade,  would  be  fair  and  reasonable,  having 
regard  to  all  the  circumstances  of  the  case, 
including,  amongst  other  things,  the  terms  upon 
which, and  the  time  within  which, the  Council 
would  be  willing  and  in a  position  to furnish a 
supply. 

15.  The  Committee  doubt  whether  due con­
sideration  has  been  given  to  the  fact  that both 
Local  Authorities  and  Companies,  as  authorised 
distributors,  have  expended  a  great  amount 
of  capital  in  the  erection  and  equipment  of 
generating  stations, and that this has been  done, 
and  the  money  borrowed, under  Parliamentary 
sanction.  Any  alteration  of  existing  conditions 
ought  to uphold  in a fair and  reasonable  manner 
the  interests of  the  authorised  distributors. 

It  was contended  that  the words in the  Clause, 
"  having  regard  to  all  the  circumstances  of  the 
case," were sufficient to safeguard these interests; 
but  the  Committee  consider  that  in  such  a Bill 
there  should  be  contained  a  clear  and  distinct 
provision,  so  that  the  existing  financial  position 
and  obligations  of  Local  Authorities  and 
Companies  as  authorised  distributors  should 
be  taken  into  account  in  any  revision  of  prices, 
and  it  may  be  desirable  that  such  prices, when 
so  revised,  should  be  made  maximum  and  not 
actual  prices. 

16.  With  regard  to  the  scheme  generally  the 

Committee  are  of  opinion  that  further  con­
sideration  should  be  given  in  regard  to  many 
matters  pointed  out  during  the  course  of  the 
inquiry,  with a view  to  amending and  improving 
the  scheme. 

17.  The  distribution  system  proposed  by  the 

Council  is  one  which  requires  further  con­
sideration.  The  suggestion  of  duplicated  routes 
is well  worthy  of  attention.  This  was  proposed 
in  the  scheme of  the  Administrative  County  of 
London  and District  Electric  Power  Company. 
The  trunk  transmission  system  should  be  on  the 
highest  voltage  consistent  with  safety  under­
ground  and the  cost of  insulation. 

that 

18.  In 

recommending 

the  County 
Council  should be  the  Authority  the  Committee 
desire  to  refer  to  the  statement  made  by  Mr. 
Llewellyn  Smith,  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of 
Trade,  which  they  regard  as  of  great  value. 
The  Committee  have  in view  the  fact  that  the 
County  Council, as this  Authority, may  exercise 
its  powers in more than  one  way:  — 

(a)  The  County  Council may undertake the 
whole  work,  providing  every  authorised 
distributor  and  every  private  consumer 
with  electricity  in  bulk  at  a  maximum 
scale of  prices.

[No. 75. 

(b)	  The  County  Council  may  retain  for 
itself  one  part  of  the  undertaking,  while 
permitting  a  private  enterprise  to under­
take  another  part. 

(c)	  The  County  Council  may 

lease  for 
a  substantial,  consideration  the  whole 
enterprise  to  a  private  enterprise,  to 
resume  possession  of  it  when  its  initial 
stages  are  over. 

The  Committee  are   of  opinion  that  the 
Report  of  the  Finance  Committee   of 
the 
County  Council  renders  desirable  a  careful 
consideration  of  alternative  schemes. 

The  Committee  desire  to  say  that  the  scheme 
put  forward  by  the  Administrative  County 
Company  appeared  to be  conceived  on  scientific 
lines,  and  calculated  to  afford  a  cheap  supply 
of  electrical  energy  at  private  risk,  though  it 
was  not  clear  to  what  extent  the  necessary 
paramount  authority  of  the  County  Council, 
and  the  ultimate  possession  of  the  enterprise 
by  the  Council,  could  be  secured  under  this 
scheme. 

19.  Evidence  was  given  at  length  regarding 

the  generation  of  electrical  energy  at  the coal­
fields,  and  the  transmission  of  it to  London  at 
a  very  high  voltage   by  overhead  cables  along 
the  public  roads.  The  Committee  were  not 
able  to  regard  this  as  a suitable  scheme. 

20.  The  Committee  visited 

the  County 
Council's  generating 
station  at  Greenwich. 
The  installation  (apart  from  the  question   of 
method  of  generation)  appeared  to  them  to  be 
in  all  respects  admirable,  and  to  reflect  credit 
upon  the  Council's  Engineer,  Mr.  J.  H.  Rider. 

21.  The  Committee  consider  that  the  j^ro­
vision  of  cheap  electric  power  for  London   is 
so  important  and  pressing  that  they  do  not 
view  with  favour  the  possibility   of  the  question 
being 
they  therefore 
urge  that  the  Council  should   be  prepared  to 
make  a  decision  as to  their  action  early  enough 
to  allow  other  Bills  to  be  presented  for  next 
Session.

22.  Having  given 

full  and

upon  the  points  raised  in  the  Commissioners' 
observations.  With  regard,  however,  to  all 
Bills 
into  Parliament  during  the 
present  Session  in  respect  to  electric  supply 
in  London  and  the  adjoining  districts,  the 
the 
Committee  are - of  opinion  that,  pending 
introduction  of  a  satisfactory  Bill  next  Session 
by  the  London  County  Council —or,  in  default 
of  the  London  County  Council,  then   by  some 
competent body of  promoters—it  is not advisable 
that  any  further  progress  should  be  made  with 
such  Bills.

(c)  that  he has  given	  a  notice  of  selection

or 

(e)  that  he  has given	  a  notice  of  selection,

stituency  ; 

.•and that  there  has  been  no  unreasonable  delay

order  allow  the  applicant  to  select  for  the 
purpose  of  this Act  the  constituency  specified 
in  the  order : 

(2)  The  clerk   of  the  county  council  or  town 
clerk  responsible  for  printing  the  parliamentary

(Sir  William  Bull.) 

And  the  Question  being  proposed,  That  those 
words  be  there  inserted  in  the  Clause:—The 
said  proposed  Amendment  to  the  Clause  was, 
with  leave  of  the  House,  withdrawn. 

An  Amendment  was  made  to  the  Clause,  at 
the  end  of  1. 39, by  adding  the  words  "  or  in 
which  he resides."—(Mr.  Courthope.) 

Another Amendment  was proposed  to be made 
to  the  Clause,  as  amended,  in  1. 39,  by  adding, 
after the  words  last  added, the  words— 

"  (4)   If  any  person  becomes  aware  that  he is 
registered  in  more  than  one  constituency  for  the 
first time  on  the  day  of the  poll,  or  such  a short 
time  before  that  day  that  he  has  no  reasonable 
opportunity  of  obtaining  an  order  of  a  court 
under  this  section,  he  may  make  before  the 
presiding  officer of  the  polling  station  to  which 
he 
is  allotted  in  the  constituency  which  he 
desires  to  select  a  statutory  declaration  of 
selection  in  the  "form  prescribed  by  Order  in 
Council  under  this  A c t  : 

A  statutory  declaration  so  made  shall  have 
the  same  effect  as  if  the  elector  had  given  notice 
of  his  selection of  the constituency  in the manner 
required  by  this  Act,  and  the  presiding  officer 
shall  allow  the  elector  to  vote  accordingly,  and 
shall  transmit  any  statutory  declaration  so  made 
before  him  to  the  returning  officer,  and  the 
returning  officer  shall  cause  the  necessary  mark 
to  be  made  on  the  register." —  (Mr.  Arthur 
Henderson.) 

And  the  Question  being  proposed,  That  those 

words  be  there  added  to  the  Clause  : 

An  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made  to 
the  said  proposed  Amendment  to  the  Clause,  as 
amended,  in  1. 4, by  leaving  out  from  the  word 
"section"   to  the  end  thereof,  and  inserting  the 
words  "  it  shall  be  lawful  for  him  to  make  a

same  were  read,  as follow  : 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made by  the  Lords  in p. 1,1. 9, for  the  following 
Reason  :—Because  they  are  of  opinion  that  it  is 
essential that  the Clause should be  retrospective, 
and  because  the  provisions  relating  to  com­
pensation  for  improvements  in  the  Landlord  and 
Tenant  (Ireland)  Act,  1870,  and  the  Agricul­
tural  Holdings  Act,  1883,  were  retrospective.

in  p.  2,  Is.  24  and  25  ;  and  in

the  Amendments  are  consequential  on  the 
Amendment  previously  disagreed  to. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made  by  the  Lords  in p. 5,1. 4, for  the following 
Reason:—Because they consider  that  the  Clause 
should be  retrospective.

Speech  was  delivered  to  both  Houses  of  Par­
liament  by  the  Lord  High  Chancellor  (in 
pursuance  of  His  Majesty's  Commands),  as 
followeth  : 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

The  marriage  of  my  niece  to  the  Ring  of 
Spain  took  place  last  June  in  Madrid,  and the 
ceremony  was  attended  by  the  Prince  and 
Princess  of  Wales.  Happily,  their  Majesties*

the  King  and  Queen   of  Spain  were  mercifully 
preserved  from  being  injured   by  the  outrage 
committed  against  them. 

The  recent  visit  of  the  King   of  Norway  with 
the  Queen, my  daughter,  has  given  me  sincere 
pleasure,  and  cannot  fail  to  promote  friendly 
relations  between  the  two  countries. 

My  relations  with  Foreign  Powers continue  to 

be  friendly. 

The  Conference  which  met  at  Algeciras,  on 
the  invitation  of  the  Sultan,  to  consider  the 
introduction  of  reforms  into  Morocco,  concluded 
its  labours  by  tbe  signature  of  an  International 
A ct  which  should   be  conducive  to  an  improve­
ment  of  the  situation  in  Morocco. 

There  has  been  a  distinct  improvement  in 
the  condition  of  affairs  in  Crete,  and the  Powers 
are  still  giving  close  attention  to  the  reforms 
which  are  being  gradually  introduced  into  the 
administration  of  the  Macedonian  vilayets. 

My  Government  have  concluded  Agreements 
with  the  French  and  Italian  Governments  for 
in  the 
the  maintenance  of  the  status  quo 
dominions  of  the Emperor  Menelek in  Abyssinia, 
and for the  regulation  of  the  traffic  in  arms  on 
the  Somali  coast. 

In  conformity  with  the  Declaration   of  the 
8th  April  1904,  concerning  the  New  Hebrides, 
a  Convention  with  France  has  been  signed  for 
the  purpose  of  putting  an  end  to  the  difficulties 
arising  from  the  absence  of  jurisdiction  over  the 
natives,  and  of  settling  land  disputes  in  those 
islands. 

My  Government  have  concluded  satisfactory 
arrangements  with  the  German  Government  in 
regard  to  our  respective  frontiers  in  the  neigh­
bourhood  Of  Lake  Tchad  and  Lake  Victoria 
Nyanza,  and  with the Government of  the French 
Republic  respecting the  Anglo-French  boundary 
between  Lake  Tchad  and  the  Niger. 

The  boundaries  between  the  Anglo-Egyptian 

Soudan  and  the  Congo  State  have  been satis­
factorily  settled  by  an  Agreement  which  has 
been  signed  with  the  Sovereign  of  the  Congo 
State,  and  the  eastern  administrative  boundary 
of  Egypt  has  been  delimited  by  a  Joint Com­
mission  with  the  Government  of  Turkey. 

A  Conference,  in  which  my  Plenipotentiaries 
took  part,  was  held  at  Brussels  in  October  to 
instituted  Under  the 
revise  the  Regulations 
Brussels  Act  for  the  restriction   of  the  liquor 
traffic  in  Africa,  and  a Convention  was  signed, 
which  will  shortly  be  laid  before  you. 

The  visit  of  friendship  which  the  Amir   of 
Afghanistan  will  shortly  pay  to  the  Governor 
General  of  India  is  a gratifying  indication of  the 
amicable  relations  that  exist  between  the  Amir 
and  my  Government. 

In  pursuance  of  the  promise  given  in  my 
Speech  at  the  opening  of  Parliament,  the 
arrangements  for  the  establishment  of  Respon­
sible  Government  in  the  Transvaal  have  now 
been  completed,  and  I  have  caused  Letters 
Patent  to  issue  under  the  Great  Seal,  The 
Instruments  providing  for  the  grant   of  a similar 
Constitution  to  the  Orange  River  Colony  are  in 
preparation. 

I  trust  that  during  the  coming  year  the  new 

form  of  Government  will  come  into  full opera­
tion,  and  will  exert a powerful  influence  not  only 
in  securing  the  peace  and  prosperity  of  both 
colonies,  but  in  contributing  to  the  unity  and 
strength  of my  possessions  in  South  Africa. 

Gentlemen  of  the  House  of  Commons, 

I  thank  you  for the  liberality  with  which  you 
have  made  provision  for  the  services  for  the 
year. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

A  measure  for  further  extending and  facilitat­
ing  the  provision  of  cottages  and  allotments  of 
land by  the  RuralDistrict  Councils  of  Ireland 
for  the  use  of  labourers,  and  for  conferring  other 
benefits  on  this  deserving  class of  my  subjects, 
has passed  into  Law. 
I  am  happy  to  say  that 
the  country continues  tranquil, and  that  the  gen­
eral  improvement  in  the  state of  the  peasantry 
makes  the  failure  of  the  potato  crop,  which 
has 
less 
in  some  districts  been  serious,  a 
grave  misfortune  that  it  would  have  been  in 
former  times. 

A  Bill  relating  to  the  tenancy  of  certain 
classes of  houses  in  Ireland,  which  has  also  been 
passed,  will place  the  Law   on  a more  equitable 
footing  and  remove  a  long-standing  sense  of 
grievance. 

Important  measures have received my sanction 
for  the  amendment  of  the  existing  Merchant 
Shipping  Laws,  having  in  view  alike  the  well­
being  of  the  seamen  and  the  interests  of  the 
shipowners,  and  for  taking  a periodical  census 
of  the  industrial  production  of  the  country. 

A  measure  has  been  passed  amending  the 
Law  in  regard  to  Trade  Disputes,  which  will, 
I  hope,  remove  all legitimate cause  of  grievance, 
and  I  have  also  given  my  assent to  an Act   to 
amend  and  consolidate  the  Law   of  Workmen's 
Compensation,  extending  the  benefits   o f  the 
Law  to  over  six  million  persons  not  included 
under  the provisions  of  preceding  Acts. 

I  have  assented  to  an  A ct 

for  the  amend­

the  Law  relating   to  Agricultural 

ment  of 
Holdings,  and  to  other  measures  affecting  agri­
culture. 
I  trust  that  the  close  attention  which 
has  been  given  to  these  questions  will  be  of 
material  benefit to  that  important  industry. 

I  hope  that the Public Trustee A ct  will afford, 
especially  to  the poorer  classes of  the  population, 
valuable  facilities  for  the  safe  and  inexpensive 
management  and  distribution  of  trust  funds. 

Further  measures have  been passed for  placing 
the  control  of the National  Galleries  in  Scotland 
on  a better  footing,  for  abolishing  the  property 
qualification  previously  required  of  County 
Justices, for  more  effectually  dealing  with  the 
evils incident  to the prevalence  of  Street  Betting, 
and  for  making  provision  for  the  feeding   of 
school  children. 

I  regret  that, notwithstanding  the  protracted 
consideration  which  you  have  given   to  the 
improvement  of  primary  and  secondary  Edu­
cation,  no  settlement  of  -the  difficulties  which 
surround  this  question  has  been  arrived  at. 

I  recognise  the  zeal  which  you  have  devoted 
to  your  arduous  labours,  and  I  pray  that  their 
results  may  have  the  blessing  of  Almighty  God. 

Then  a  Commission  for proroguing  the  Parlia-   Prorogation, 

ment  was  read. 

After  which  the  Lord  Chancellor  said  : 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

B y  virtue  of  His  Majesty's  Commission 
under  the  Great  Seal,  to  us  and  other  Lords 
directed,  and  now  read, we  do,  in  His  Majesty's 
Name,  and in  obedience  to  His  Commands, pro­
rogue  this  Parliament  to  Tuesday  the  twelfth 
day  of  February  next,  to  be  then  here  holden  ; 
and  this  Parliament  is  accordingly  prorogued  to 
Tuesday  the  twelfth  day   of  February  next.

houses  in  many  cases  a  condition  of  employment,  and 
turning  such  workpeople  out   of  their  homes  during  a 
trade  dispute,   is  most  reprehensible;  and   it  calls  upon 
the  Government   to 
legislation  which  will 
introduce 
afford  security  of  tenure  during  a  period  of  dispute,  or 
such  security   as  would  exist   if  the  houses were  owned   by 
ordinary  landlords  withdrawn,  226.

opinion  that  the  growth   of  expenditure  on  armaments  is 
excessive  and  ought   to  be  reduced;  such  expenditure 
lessens  national  and  commercial  credit,  intensifies  the 
unemployed  problem,  reduces  the  resources  available  for 
social  reform,  and  presses  with  exceptional  severity   on 
the  industrial  classes,  and   it  therefore  calls  upon  the 
Government  to  take  drastic  steps   to  reduce  the  drain  on 
national  income,  and  to this  end  to press  for the  inclusion 
of  the  question  of  the  reduction  of  armaments by inter­
national  agreement   in  the  agenda  of  the  forthcoming 
Hague  Conference ;  Amendment  proposed,   to  leave  out
