N o.   L.]  7  EDW.  Y I I. 

12th—-13th  February. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

I  am  happy  to  say  that  My  relations  with 
Foreign  Powers  continue  to  be  friendly, and  I 
have  no  occasion  to  add  to  the  full  statement 
which  was laid  before  you  in  December  reciting 
a  number  of  satisfactory  Agreements  recently 
concluded. 

The  earthquake  at Kingston  adds  one  more 
to  the  series  of  calamities  which  Jamaica  and 
My  other  Colonies  in  the  West  Indies  have 
experienced. 
I  regret  the  deplorable  loss  of 
life  and destruction  of  propeity  in  an important 
city,  and  I  have  seen with  satisfaction  that  the 
emergency  has  been  met  by  the Governor  and 
his officers with  courage  and  devotion,  and  by 
the people  with  self-control. 

The  occasion  has  called  forth  many  proofs of 
practical  goodwill from  all  parts  of  My  Empire ; 
and  I  recognise  with  sincere  gratitude  the 
sympathy  shown  by  the  people  of  the  United 
States of America,  and  the  assistance  promptly 
offered  by  their  naval  authorities. 

The  first visit  of  an  Amir  of  Afghanistan  to 
My  Indian  Dominions  for  more  than  twenty 
years,  and  his active  survey  of  leading  features 
in  Indian  life, have  been to  Me, and,  as I under­
stand,  to  the Amir  himself",  a  source  of  much 
gratification,  as  tending  to  promote  that  right 
feeling which is even more important than formal 
compacts. 

In  India,  while  firmly  guarding  the  strength 
and  unity  of executive  power  unimpaired,  I  look 
forward to  a steadfast effort  to  provide means of 
widening  the  base  of  peace,  order,  and  good 
government  among  the  vast  populations  com­
mitted  to My  charge. 

Gentlemen  of the  House of  Commons, 

Estimates  of  the  National  Expenditure  for 
the  forthcoming financial year  will  in  due  course 
be  laid  before  you.  They  have  been  framed 
with  the object  of  effecting  economies  consistent 
with  the  efficient  maintenance  of  the  public 
service. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

Serious  questions  affecting the  working  of  our 

Parliamentary  system  have  arisen  from  unfor­
tunate  differences  between  the  two  Houses. 
My  Ministers  have  this important  subject  under 
consideration,  with  a view  to  the  solution  of  the 
difficulty. 

A  measure of  Licensing  reform will  be  intro­
duced,  with  the  object of  effectively  diminishing 
the  evils which  result  from  the  sale  and  use  of 
intoxicating  liquors  under  present  conditions. 

Proposals  will  be  laid  before  you  for  more 
clearly  defining  the  functions  of  the  military 
forces of  the  Crown, both  regular  and  auxiliary, 
and  for  the improvement  of their  organisation. 

Bills  will  be  introduced  dealing  with  the 

Holding  and  Valuation  of  Land  in  Scotland. 

Your  attention  will  be called  to measures  for 
farther  associating  the  people  of  Ireland  with 
the  management  of  their  domestic  affairs,  and 
for  otherwise  improving  the  system of  govern­
ment  in its administrative  and  financial  aspects. 
Proposals  will  also  be  submitted  for  effecting a 
in  Ireland, 
reform  of  University  Education 
whereby  I  trust  that  the  difficulties which  have 
so  long  retarded  the  development  of  higher 
education  in that country  may  be  removed. 

You  will  also be  invited  to consider  proposals 
for  the  establishment  of  a  Court  of  Crimiual 
Appeal;  for regulating  the  Hours  of  Labour  in 
Mines ;  for  the  amendment  of  the  Patent  Laws; 
for  improving  the Law  relating   to the  Valuation 

V  O L.   162. 

of  Property in England  and Wales ; for  enabling 
Women  to  serve  on Local  Bodies ;  for  amending 
the  Law  affecting  Small  Holdings  in  England 
and  Wales ;  and  for  the  better  Housing  of  the 
People. 

I  commend  all  your  arduous  labours  to  the 

continued  blessing  of  Almighty  God. 

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being  King's  Speech 
proposed,  That  an  humble  Address  be  presented  (Motion  for an 
to  His  Majesty,  as followeth  : 

Address.) 

Most  Gracious  Sovereign,

subjects,  the  Commons of  the  United  Kingdom

assembled,  beg  leave  to  offer  our  humble  thanks 
to  Your  Majesty  for the  Gracious  Speech  which 
Your  Majesty  has  addressed  to  both  Houses  of 
Parliament—(Mr.  Tomkinsan)  ; 

And  a Debate  arising  thereupon  ; 

And  it being  Ele ven of  the  clock,  the  Debate

to  observe  evidence  of  ill-considered  changes

the  House  is of  opinion  that its control  over  the 
Navy  in  recent  years  has  been,  and  is  being, 
weakened  by  the  absence  of  the  First  Lord  of 
the Admiralty  from  the  House  of  Commons,  by 
undue  secrecy,  by sudden  changes  of  policy, and 
by Admiralty  officials resorting  to  novel methods 
for  the  purpose  of  influencing  public  opinion—

Sir Horace 
Plunkett, 

Closure 
claimed,  but 
Mr.  Speaker 
withholds his 
assent, and 
gives a Reason, 

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being 
proposed,  That  the  position  of  Vice-President 
of  the  Board  of  Agriculture  in  Ireland  was 
intended  by  Parliament  to  be  and  in  fact  is  a 
Ministerial  and  Parliamentary  Office,  properly 
vacated  upon  a  change  of  Government,  and 
that  the  retention  of  that  Office  by  a  political 
opponent  of  the  Government  of  the  day  is 
undesirable  as  a  permanent  arrangement—(Mr. 
Murphy)  ; 

An  Amendment  was proposed  to  be  made  to 
the  Question,  by  leaving  out  from  the  word 
"'That  "  to  the  end  of  the  Question,  and  adding 
the  words  "  in  view  of  the  continued  confidence 
expressed  in  the  policy  of  Sir  Horace  Plunkett 
by  the  Council  of  Agriculture,  two-thirds  of 
whose  members  are  directly  appointed  by  the 
County  Councils  of  Ireland,  it  is  inadvisable, 
before  the  House  has  had  an  opportunity  of 
considering  carefully  the  Report  of  the  Com­
mittee  of  Inquiry  into  the  organisation  and 
working  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture  and 
Technical  Instruction,  to  make  any  change  in 
Sir  Horace  Plunkett's  tenure  of  the  Vice-
Presidency  "—(Mr.  Brooke),—instead  thereof. 

And  the  Question  being  proposed,  That  the 
words  proposed  to  be  left  out  stand  part  of  the 
Question :—And  a Debate  arising  thereupon  ; 

Mr.  Lonsdale  rose  in  his  place  and  claimed 
to  move,  That  the  Question  be  now  put;  but 
Mr.  Speaker  withheld  his  assent,  and  declined 
to  put  that  Question,  as it  appeared  to  him  that 
the  House  was prepared  to  come  to  a  decision 
without  that Motion  :—Then the House resumed 
the  Debate. 

And  the  Question  being  put,  That  the  words 

proposed  to  be  left  out  stand  part  of  the  Ques­
tion ; 

The  House  divided.

been  guilty  of  a  gross  fraud  on  the  Admiralty, 
one  endangering  a  first-class  battleship  with  all 
its  crew, 

I  found  that  the  Rules and  Regulations  of  the 
House  debarred  me from  criticising  such  acts  of 
the  Sovereign,  even  when  those  acts  are  com­
mitted  on  the  recommendation  of,  or  at  the 
instigation  of,  either  the  Prime  Minister  or 
Members  of  the  Cabinet. 

I  think,  therefore,  it  is  only  right  that  the 
matter  should  be ventilated  through  the  columns 
of  the  Press. 

If  ever  there  has  been  a  Government  since  

1832  which  was pledged  up to  the  hilt  to  strive

for  ideals  held  in  respect  by  the  democracy  of 
this  country  it  is  the  present  Government,  with 
its  vast majority  of  Liberals  and  Radicals. 

A  fortnight  ago  we  spent  three  days  in  the 
House of  Commons  discussing a pious  Resolution 
affecting  the  veto  of  the  House  of  Lords. 
In 
the  course of  that Debate  Liberals  and  Radicals 
got  up  and  vied  with  each  other  in  denunciation 
of  the  principles of  hereditary  legislation. 

I  asked 

A t  the time  of  this  Debate  I  put  a couple  of 
Questions  to  the  Clerks  at  the  Table.  These 
Questions  weie  refused. 
in  those 
Questions  that  the  Prime  Minister  should 
give  the  House  an  assurance  that  no  addition 
should  be  made  to  the  Peerage  whilst  this 
Government  was  in  power;  and,  further,  that 
the  Prime  Minister would  in no  case recommend 
to  the  Sovereign  any persons for  baronetcies  or 
I  think  this 
other  forms  of  so-called  honour. 
line  of  conduct  would  have  been  consistent  on 
our  part;  but,  Sir, there  is  another  and  graver 
aspect  to the matter.  These honours are bought 
and  sold,  the  proceeds  going  principally  to  the 
war ehest of  the  Party in  office at the  time  these 
so-called  honours  are  conferred.  The  Party 
funds  are  presided  over  by  the  Chief  Whip. 
At  times of  election, if  candidates  come forward 
and  cannot  pay  their  expenses  in toto, grants in 
aid are given.  And, should the candidate become 
a  Member, his vote  and  support  of  the  Govern­
ment  are looked  upon  as  secure, no  matter  what 
the  issue  or what  pledges  he  may  have given  to 
Should  he  rebel  and  vote 
his  constituents. 
according  to  his  conscience,  to  his  pledges,   or  to 
what  he is persuaded  his constituents would wish 
him  to  do,  then  he  is  reproached  by  the  Party 
Whips  for  not  having  held  to  what  they  look 
upon  as  a bargain.  A  fund  is, perhaps, neces­
sary,  and, were  the fund  public, no  harm would 
be  done.  Those  who  had  subscribed  would  be 
known, and their  intentions could  be judged. 

Sir,-  in  inditing  this  protest  I  sincerely  and 
it  may  be  the  means  of 

humbly  hope  that 
abolishing  one  of  the  hypocrisies  of  public  life.

4 3 9; 

•	 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made by  the  Lords  in p.  1,1. 5, for  the following 
reason .-—Because  the  effect of  the  Amendment 
Would  be,  by  causing  delay  and 
increasing 
expense, to  render  the A ct  useless. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made  by the  Lords  in p.  2,1.  4, for  the  following 
reason  :—Because  it  is undesirable  to  fix  a  limit 
of number which  might exclude from the  benefits 
of  the Act  some  of  those evicted  tenants in whose 
interests it  was  passed. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendments 
made  by  the  Lords  in p.  3,1.  3, L  11, and Is.  17

made,  by  the  Lords  in  p.  1,  1. 5,  to  which  the 
Commons  ha,ve  disagreed. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 

;	  made by  the  Lords  in  p.  4,1.  19, for  the  follow­
ing  reason  :—Because  they  consider  the  com­
pensation  proposed  to  be  giveli  by  the  Act  is 
sufficient. 

Ordered,  That

the  Lords;  and  acquaint  them that  this  House 
hath  agreed  to  the  same, with  Amendments;  to 
which this  House  doth  desire  the  concurrence  of 
their  Lordships. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made by  the  Lords  in p.  5,1. 5, for  the following 
reason  :-—Because  it  is  an  Amendment  con­
sequential  on  an  Amendment  to  which  they 
have-disagreed. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendments 
made  by  the  Lords in  p. 5,1.  26, and  p.  5,1.  32,

pedient to  restrict  the acquisition  of  land  in  the 
manner  proposed. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  new  Clause  C  for 
the following reason  :—Because it  is  inexpedient 
that  sporting  rights  should  be  reserved  in  the 
manner proposed  by  the  Clause. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made  by  the  Lords  in  p.  6,  1. 39,  to  leave  out 
Clause  13, for  the following  reason  :—Because  it 
is  expedient  that  the  Estates  Commissioners, 
having  judicial  functions,  should  have  judicial 
tenure. 

The  said  Reasons,  being  read  a  second  time, 

were  agreed  to. 

Ordered, That  a  Message   be sent to  the Lords

occupation  with any  one  small  holding." 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ment  in  p.  6,  for  the  following  Reason:—

the  case  of  a small  holding  intended  to be  sold 
by  the  owner thereof. 

The  Commons disagree  to  tbe  Lords'  Amend­
ment  in  p.  10,  Is.  16  to  20, for  the  following 
Reason  :—Because  it  may  be  desirable to  erect 
a dwelling-house  on  certain  allotments.

ment  in  First  Schedule,  p.  23,  1.  12,  for  the

The  Commons  disagree  to the  Lords'  Amend­
ment in p.  11,1.  20, for the following Reason  :— 
Because  the  Clause would  not  apply  if  an  urban 
district  or  parish  council  were  attempting  to 
acquire  land  compulsorily  for  allotments. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ment  in  p.  12,1.  16,  for  the following  Reason  : 
—Because  it  is  expedient  that  an order,  when 
confirmed  by  the  Board  of  Agriculture  and 
Fisheries,  should  be  final,  and  not  liable  to  be 
questioned  in courts of  law. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ment  in p.  15,1.  24, for the  following  Reason  :—

ment  in  p.  15,  Is.  25  and  26,  leave  out  ( "  for

land  acquired  by  a 
council  under  this A c t " ),   by  inserting, after the 
words "  surrounded  by,"  the  words  "  or  adjacent 
to." 

The  Commons  disagree to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ment in  p.  15,  1. 31, for the following  Reason:— 
Because  the  Board of Agriculture  and  Fisheries

land of historical  or archaeological  interest  which 
would be  prejudicially  affected  by  its  inclusion 
in  a small holding  or  allotment.

1.4,  after  "extent,"  the  words  " n or  any  part 
of  any  such  holding." 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ment  in  p.  16,1.  36,  after  ("purposes"),  insert

ways,  or  other  similar  works  necessary  for  the 
improvement  and  development  of  the  estate"),

ments  in  First  Schedule, p.  23,1.  32,  leave  out

which  the  land  has been let, and the  annual  value 
at which  the  land is assessed  for  the  purposes  of 
income  tax  and  rating." 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the Lords'  Amend­
ment  in  First  Schedule,  p.  24,  1.  40,  after 
("aforesaid"),  insert  ( " a nd  (unless  otherwise 
agreed)  to  pay  all  taxes,  rates,  and  charges 
usually  borne  by  tenants to  insure  the  buildings, 
and to  keep the  buildings  and  premises  demised

The  Commons  disagree to the  Lords'  Amende 
ments  in  First  Schedule,  p.  24,  1.  42,  for  the 
following  Reason  :—Because  it  is  expedient  that 
there  should  be  no  prohibition  against  breaking 
up  pasture  which  can  be  broken  up  without 
depreciating  the  value of  the  land. 

The  Commons  propose  to  amend  the  Lords' 
Amendment  in  First  Schedule,  p.  25,1. 5, after 
( "  allotments "),  insert  ( " f or  which  proper  com­
pensation  shall  be  paid Jto  the  landlord "),  by 
substituting for  the words proposed to be  inserted 
the following  words  :  "  ana except  upon  payment 
of  compensation  for  minerals,  gravel,  sand,  or 
clay  so  used." 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ments  in  First  Schedule,  p.  25,  1.  16,  and  in 
1.  18,  for  the  following  Reason  :—Because  the 
substitution  of  arbitration  for  valuation  would 
unnecessarily  increase  the  cost of hiring  land. 

The  Commons  propose  to  amend  the  Lords' 
Amendment  in  First  Schedule,  p.  25,  1.  21, 
leave  out  ("rating  or  taxation"),  and  insert 
( "  income  tax,  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the 
hiring"),  by  substituting  "  or  rating "  for  "the 
terms  and  conditions  of  the  hiring.

The  Commons disagree   to  the  Lords'  Amend­
ment  in  Second  Schedule,  p.  26,  1. 9,  for  the 
following  Reason  :—Because   it  is desirable  that 
there  should  be  power  to  erect  on  allotments 
buildings  other  than  a  toolhouse,  shed,  green­
house, fowlhouse, or  pigsty. 

The  said  Reasons,  being  read  a  second  time,

And  afterwards  His  Majesty's  Most  Gracious   King's Speech. 

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

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

The  recent  visit  of  the  King  and  Queen  of  

Denmark,  who  are  closely  related  to  me,  gave  

great  pleasure  to  the  Queen  and  myself,  and  

cannot  fail  to  improve  the  friendly  relations 
existing  between  the  two  countries.  


I  was  much  gratified  at  receiving  the  visit  

of  His  Imperial  Highness  Prince  Fushimi,  who  

had been  sent  on  a  Special  Mission  by  my  ally,  

the Emperor  of  Japan,  to  convey  His  Majesty's  

thanks  for  the  Order  of  the  Garter,  bestowed  

upon  him  during  the  Mission  of  my  nephew,  

Prince  Arthur  of  Connaught,  to  Japan  in  1906.  


My  relations  with foreign  Powers- continue  to 

be  friendly. 

My  Government,  animated  by  the  desire  to 

contribute  in  every  possible  way  to the  mainten­
ance  of  peace,  have  concluded  an  Agreement 
with  the  Spanish  Government for  the  preserva­
tion  of  their  respective  interests  in  that  part  o f 
the  Mediterranean  and  Atlantic with  which  both 
countries  are  concerned.  The  terms  of  this-
Agreement  have  been  already  laid  before  you.. 
In  response  to  an  invitation  from  the  Russian" 
Government  1 appointed  Delegates to  take  part 
in  the  International  Conference  now  sitting  at 
The  Hague. 
I  trust that  its  deliberations  may 
result in  the  conclusion  of  Agreements  that  will 
tend  to  mitigate  the  evils  of  war  and  secure  the 
peace  of  the  world. 

In  the  great  dependency  of  India  certain 
passing  difficulties  have  not  discouraged  my 
Government  in framing  plans for  improving  the 
machinery  of  administration.  These  plans  have 
been  laid  before  you,  and  practical  steps  have • 
already been  taken for securing  the presence  and 
advice  of  Indian  Members  in  the  Council  of 
India. 

The  meeting of  the  Prime  Ministers and  other 
leading  Statesmen  of  my  Dominions  beyond  the 
Seas  with  the  Representatives  of  the  Imperial, 
Government  was a source  of deep  satisfaction  to 
me, and  I note with gratification the arrangement 
for future meetings  at  fixed  intervals, under  the 
title  of  "  Imperial  Conferences,"  for  the  free 
discussion  of  questions of  common  concern. 

The  grant  of  fidl  self-government  to  the 
people  of  the  Orange  River  Colony  has  been 
completed,  and  will,  I  trust,  conduce  to  their 
welfare  and  contentment. 

Gentlemen  of  the  House  of  Commons, 

I  thank  you  for  the  liberality  with  which 
you  have  made  provision  for  the  needs  of  the 
public  service,  and for  the  reduction  of  national 
indebtedness.

of  my  ships,  and  the fine bearing  and  discipline 
of the officers and men of  all ranks. 

Attention has been directed  to the problem  of 
the  reorganisation  of  the  Forces  of  the  Crown. 
The  broad  principles  for  the  reorganisation  of 
the  Regular  Forces  at  home  into  six  great 
divisions  have  been successfully put  into  opera­
tion.  The  reorganisation  of  the  Auxiliary 
Forces  into a  Home  or Second  Line  Army  has 
been provided for in the Territorial  and Reserve 
Forces  Act,  which  has  received  my  assent. 
In 
this  Act  provision  has  further  been  made  for 
filling  up  serious gaps  in  the  Regular  or  Field 
Army  of the First  Line. 

A n  important  measure  has  received  my  sanc­
tion  for  facilitating  the  acquisition  of  Small 
Holdings and Allotments in England and Wales, 
which  will  afford  opportunities  of  advancement 
to  the rural  population,  and  will,  I  hope, act  as 
some check  on migration  to the towns. 

I  trust  that  the  establishment  of  a  Court  of 
Criminal  Appeal  will  confirm  still  further  the 
confidence  of  the public  in  the administration  of 
justice. 

I  have also  given  my  assent to  a  measure for 
the amendment  of  the  existing  Law  relating  to 
Patents  and  Designs, with  a  view  especially  to 
restraining  the  abuse  of  monopolies,  and  to 
strengthening  the  provisions  in  regard  to  the 
revocation  of  British  Patents which  are  worked 
abroad, but which  are not  adequately  worked  in 
this country. 

A  Bill  has  also been passed into Law  for  the 
amendment  of  the  Companies  Acts,  which,  by 
affording  fuller  information  concerning  public 
companies and  by other  provisions,  will  secure a 
greater  degree of  protection  to  creditors, share­
holders,  and the public generally. 

I  have  also  sanctioned  an  Act  which  will 
secure  certain  administrative  improvements  in 
Public  Education,  and  introduce  a  system  of 
medical inspection  of  school children. 

I  have  given  my  assent  to  a measure for  the 
purpose  of  accelerating the  process of  providing 
farms for evicted  Tenants  in  Ireland. 

I  have  assented  to  a  measure  for  codifying, 
and in several  important particulars  altering and 
improving,  the  whole  procedure  of  the  Sheriffs' 
Courts  in  Scotland. 

Important  measures  affecting  the  Public 
Health  have  been  passed  into Law,  providing, 
among  other  things, for  the  more  efficient  pro­
tection  of  the  community  against 
injurious 
food-stuffs, whether imported or  home-produced, 
and for the better notification of  Births. 

A  grievance  of  long  standing  is  removed  by 
the  passing  of  the  Act  for  legalising  Marriage 
with a Deceased  Wife's  Sister. 

Further  measures  have  been  passed  for 
enabling  Women  to  serve  on  Local  Bodies  in 
England  and  Scotland;  for giving my  Courts  a 
discretionary  power  to place offenders under the 
eare  of probation  officers, instead  of  committing 
them  to  prison ;  for the  better regulation  of the 
hours and conditions Of labour of  the Women and 
Girls  employed  in Laundries ;  for protecting  the 
interests  of  the  producers  and  consumers  of 
Butter;  for  amending the  Vaccination  Laws in 
England  and Scotland, and for regulating  Whale 
Fisheries  in  Scotland. 

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

Then  a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- Prorogation, 

ment was read. 

After which the  Lord  Chancellor said : 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

By  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  Saturday  the sixteenth 

day  of  November next,  to  be then here  holden;  

and this  Parliament  is accordingly  prorogued  to  

Saturday  the sixteenth  day  of  November  next.

has broken  down in  practice,  and,  if  persisted  in,  will 
throw  such  a  ruinous  charge  on  the  already  over­
burdened  ratepayers  of  Ireland  as  to endanger the  entire 
scheme of Land  Purchase,  308.
