a most Gracious Speech from the Throne to both
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,

In opening the first Parliament elected in My
reign the grievous loss which the Empire has
sustained by the death of My beloved Father is
uppermost in My thoughts. When, a year ago,
He addressed you from the Throne no one could
have foreseen that His life of unceasing and
devoted activity in the service of His subjects
was so soon to be cut short. Bowing to the
inscrutable decree of Providence, I take courage
from His example, and I am sustained in My
abiding sorrow by the sympathy extended to Me
by My people in every part of My Dominions.
I have welcomed back My Uncle, the Duke
of Connaught, on the completion of the Mission
in South Africa which I entrusted to ldm, and
it has deeply gratified Me to learn that he was

received with demonstrations of the utmost
enthusiasm and loyalty in every part of My
South African Dominions, and by every class
of the community.

My relations with foreign Powers continue

to be friendly.

The Japanese Government

having given
notice of their intention to terminate the Treaty
of Commerce and Navigation of 1894, negotia-
tions, which it is hoped will result in a satisfactory
arrangement, have been entered upon for the
conclusion of a new Treaty.

Frequent complaints of the injury inflicted
on British trade by the continued disorder on
the trade routes in Southern Persia led My
Government reluctantly to address strong re-
presentations to the Persian Government, who
have since given attention to the subject. Some
improvement has lately been shown in the con-
dition of the routes, and My Ministers propose
to await further developments before pressing
for the adoption of their own proposals, which,
in any case, would have no other object than to
see the authority of the Persian Government
restored and trade protected.

I look forward with much interest to the
assembling in May next of the Imperial Con-
ference, at which the Chief Ministers of My
self-governing Dominions and of the Mother
Country will unite in counsel regarding matters

It is My intention, when the solemnity of
My Coronation has been celebrated, to revisit
My Indian Dominions, and there to hold an
Assemblage, in order to make known in person
to My subjects My succession to the Imperial
Crown of India.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons,

The Estimates for the ensuing year will in

due course be laid before you.

My Lords, and Gentlemen,

Proposals will be submitted to you without
delay for settling the Relations between the Two
Houses of Parliament, with the object of securing
the more effective working of the Constitution.

Measures will be presented to you, in pur-
suance of intentions already declared, for carrying
out and extending the policy initiated in previous
Parliaments, by securing the permanent provision
of Old Age Pensions to persons previously dis-
qualified by reason of the receipt of Poor
Relief ; and by providing for the insurance of
the industrial population against sickness and
invalidity, and for the insurance against unem-
ployment of those engaged in trades specially
liable to it.

Bills dealine. with other measures of importance
will be introduced and proceeded with as time
and opportunity allow.

I pray that Almighty God may bless your

labours.

Special
Report

Sir Harry Samuel reported from the Com-

they had examined the allegations contained in
the Preamble of the Bill, and amended the same
so as to make it consistent with the provisions
of the Bill as passed by the Committee, and
found the same, as amended, to be true ; and
had gone through the Bill and made Amend-
ments thereunto.

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the

Ordered, That the Committee on Group A of
Private Bills have leave to make a Special
Report.

Sir Harry Samuel reported from the Com-
mittee on Group A of Private Bills ; That in
the case of the Southampton Harbour Bill they
had agreed to the following Special Report :

The evidence given before your Committee
showed that the Harbour Board, as constituted
under the Act of 1863, is composed of members
of the Corporation of Southampton, the Recorder,
and ten specific members who are appointed, as
occasion arises, by co-optation.

Your Committee are of opinion that, while it
is in the interest of the port and in the public
interest that the powers sought by the Bill, as
amended by them, should be granted, yet a body
so constituted is not qualified to act as the
guardian of the many interests affected by the
business of a great port ; and they desire to
express their strong opinion that no further
borrowing powers beyond those authorised by
this Bill should be granted to the Harbour Board
until such time as it has been reconstituted on a
more satisfactory basis.

Ordered, That the Special Report do lie upon

the Table ; and be printed.

Act, 1883.

Election for the City of Exeter, holden on the

3rd day of December 1910.

Between Henry Edward Duke, Petitioner,
and
Richard Harold St. Maur, Respondent.
To the Right Honourable the Speaker of

the House of Commons.

We, Sir Edward Ridley, Knight, and Sir
Arthur Moseley Channel], 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 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th,
10th, and 11th days of April 1911 we duly held
a Court at the Guildhall, Exeter, for the trial of,
and did try, the Election Petition for the City
of Exeter, in the County of Devon, between
Henry Edward Duke and Richard Harold St.
Maur, whereby the said Henry Edward Duke
claimed the seat.

And, in further pursuance of the said Acts,
we certify that at the conclusion of the said trial
we determined that Richard Harold St. Maur,
being the Member whose Election and return
were complained of in the said Petition, was not
duly elected and returned, and that, on the
scrutiny of the votes given and tendered at the
said Election, we determined that the Petitioner,
Henry Edward Duke, of Maryfield, Exeter, in
the County of Devon, one of His Majesty's
Counsel and Recorder of Devonport, in the said
County of Devon, had a majority of valid and
lawful votes, and ought to have been returned
as duly elected, and we determined that he was
duly elected ; and we do hereby certify in
writing such determination to you.

And whereas charges were made in the said
Petition that certain persons personated and
voted at the said Election as and for certain
other persons whose names appear on the register
of voters of the said city, and who did not
themselves vote, and thereby committed corrupt
practices, and that certain other persons voted
at the said Election, being prohibited by statute
from voting, and that they did so knowingly, and
were thereby guilty of illegal practices, we
further certify and report
That no corrupt or

illegal practices were
committed with the knowledge and consent of
either candidate at the said Election, or by their
election agents.

That the persons whose names appear in the
First Schedule hereto were proved to have been
guilty of the illegal practices of having voted
at the said Election, knowing that they were
prohibited by the Representation of the People
Act, 1867, from voting at such Election.

That it was not proved, nor is there reason
to believe, that corrupt and illegal practices
extensively prevailed at the said Election.

That certificates of indemnity have been
furnished to the persons found guilty of the
above-mentioned illegal practices, whose names
appear in the Second Schedule.

" For the purposes of Part
thereof the words
XVIII. of the Act of 1900 teachers who, at the
commencement of this Order, are, or hereafter
shall be, permanently and exclusively employed
by the Corporation as the local education authority
for the borough, or are permanently and exclu-
sively employed in any public elementary school
in the borough (whether provided by the Cor-
poration as the local education authority or not),
or are permanently and exclusively employed
in any school, college, or hostel provided by the
Corporation as the local education authority for
the purpose of Part II. of the Education Act,
1902 (and any such teacher is in this section
called the teacher '), shall be deemed, if the
Corporation in their discretion think fit, to be
persons in the employment of the Corporation
whom, or some of whom (according to their
qualifications or conditions of service or other-
wise), the Corporation may, in their discretion,
determine to be a class or classes of persons
entitled to contribute to and participate in the
benefit of any fund established under the pro-
1900, and upon any
visions of the Act of
such determination such provisions shall apply
accordingly :

Provided that in exercising their discretion
under this section the Corporation shall not
differentiate between classes of teachers on the
ground alone that any such class is composed of
persons employed in public elementary schools
provided by them, or
in public elementary
schools not so provided, or of persons who were,
before the commencement of this Order, em-
ployed in the existing borough, or of persons
employed in the added area :

(a) In the application of the Act of 1900 to
to whom the Elementary
(Superannuation) Act,
(in this section called the Act of

any teacher
School Teachers
1898

1898 "), applies, the amount of the super-
annuation allowance to he made to the
teacher upon retirement under the pro-
visions of the Act of 1900 shall be comple-
mentary to the amount of the deferred
annuity to which the teacher is entitled, and
to the superannuation allowance which nay
be granted to the teacher under the Act of
1898 (in this section hereinafter called `the
benefits under the Act of 1898 '), and the
salary or wages in respect of which he shall
contribute to and receive an annual allow-
ance from the superannuation fund under
the provisions of the Act of 1900 shall be
so much (if any) of the actual salary or
wages for the time being receivable by him
as remains after deducting from that last-
named salary or wages a sum equal to one
and a half times the amount of the benefits
under the Act of 1898 receivable by him,
provided that the total amount of the con-
tributions to be so made by him shall be at
such rate or rates per centum per annum on
the salary or wages calculated as aforesaid
as the Corporation, acting on the advice of
an actuary (being a fellow either of the
Institute of Actuaries or of the Faculty of
Actuaries in Scotland), shall determine to
be proper, so that the total amount of the
contributions made by the teacher at the
time when he becomes entitled to an annual
allowance from the superannuation fund
shall, as nearly as may be, bear the same
ratio to the amount of such allowance as the
total amount of the contributions made at
the like time by any other officer or ser-
vant admitted to the benefits of the Act of
1900 with a like service shall bear to the
amount of the annual allowance receivable
by that officer Or servant ;

(b) For the purpose of giving effect to the
provisions of this subsection the Corpora-
tion shall by resolution from time to time
determine the amount of the benefits under
the Act of 1898, and prescribe a scale deter-
mining the rate or rates of contribution
aforesaid ;

(c) If' at any time hereafter under the Act of
1898, or by reason of the passing of any
general Act of Parliament, whether in this
or in any subsequent Session of Parliament
or otherwise, the benefits under the pro-
visions of the Act of 1898, or otherwise,
shall be materially increased,
the Cor-
poration shall by an amending resolution
make such provision as shall he necessary
to meet the altered circumstances, and by
that resolution shall provide for the return
to the teacher, or the credit to him in
respect of future contributions to the super-
annuation fund, of the amount of any pay-
ments made by him to that fund in respect
of service before the date of the amending
resolution in respect of any part, propor-
tion, or amount of his salary or wages in
excess of the part, proportion, or amount in
respect of which, as determined by the said
amending resolution, he will thereafter be
entitled to contribute to and receive an
annual allowance from the superannuation
fund ;

(d) No part of any benefit or superannuation
allowance received by any teacher from the
superannuation fund shall be deemed to be
paid out of or received from public money
within the meaning of the [898 Act, or any
rules made thereunder or otherwise."

the Insurance Commissioners, and being such as
to secure that insured persons shall, save as
hereinafter provided, receive adequate medical
attendance and treatment from the medical
practitioners with whom arrangements are so
made, and shall require the adoption by every
local health committee of such system as will
secure

(a) the preparation and publication of lists of
medical practitioners who have agreed to
attend and treat insured persons whose
is administered by the
medical benefit
committee and resident within the area to
which the list relates ;

(b) a right on the part of any duly qualified
medical practitioner who is desirous of
being included in any such list as aforesaid

ance Commissioners, after such inquiry as
may be prescribed, are satisfied that his
continuance in the list would be prejudicial
to the efficiency of the medical service of
the insured they may remove his name from
the list ;

(c) a right on the part of any insured person
of selecting, at such periods as may be
prescribed, from the appropriate list the
practitioner by whom he wishes to be
attended and treated, and, subject to the

practicable, under arrangements made by
the several practitioners whose names are
on the lists of the insured persons who,
after due notice, have failed to make any
selection, or who have been refused by the
practitioner whom they have selected :

Provided that if the Insurance Commissioners
are satisfied, after inquiry, that the practitioners
included in any list are not such as to secure an
adequate medical service in any area, they may
dispense with the necessity of the adoption of

Reasons accordingly, which they had directed

the existing incidence of rates in Belfast.

Because the said Clause 94a gives large
exemptions from rates in the case of particular

Mr. Secretary Churchill reported from the Parliament

Committee appointed to draw up Reasons to be Bill.
assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain
of the Amendments made by their Lordships to
the Parliament Bill ; That they had drawn up
Reasons accordingly, which they had directed
him to report to the House ; and the same were
read, as follow :

The Commons disagree to the Amendment
made by the Lords in p. 2,1. 2, for the following
Reason :Because the substitution of any new
tribunal for the Speaker for the purpose of
deciding whether a Bill is or is not a Money
Bill would constitute an interference with the
privilege of
well-established
of
Commons, and would also he inconvenient in
practice.

the House

The Commons disagree to the Amendment
made by the Lords in p. 2, 1. 11, for the fol-
lowing Reason : Because they consider that
the Amendment may weaken the
present
privileges of the House of Commons with respect
to Money Bills, and, so far as it has not that
effect, is unnecessary.

The Commons disagree to the Amendment
made by the Lords in p. 2, 1. 33, for the fol-
lowing Reason :Because they consider that
there is no justification for making any special
exceptions from the operation of the Bill such
as those set out in the Amendment, nor for
adding a Referendum to the procedure required
by the Bill as respects any subject.

The Commons disagree to new' Clause A pro-
posed by the Lords for the following Reason :
Because the constitution of the Joint Committee
is consequential on the Amendments made by
the Lords to which the Commons have dis-
agreed.

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

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,

My relations with Foreign Powers continue to

be friendly.

I am happy to say that the negotiations
which have taken place between the Govern-
ments of France and Germany in regard to
Morocco-a matter in which My Government
was concerned by its treaty engagements-have
been brought to a conclusion.

In the state of war which, unhappily, exists
between Italy and Turkey I have issued a Pro-
clamation declaring the strict neutrality of this
country.

The deliberations of the Imperial Conference
in May and June bore witness to the harmony
of the relations subsisting between the Govern-
ments of the United Kingdom and of the self-
governing Dominions beyond the Seas, and to
the growing consciousness of their common
interests, as well as to the spirit of loyalty and
kinship which pervades these Dominions and
adds lustre to My Crown.

I trust that the labours of the Royal Commis-
sion which will shortly be appointed to inquire
into the natural resources and the improvement
of the trade of the Empire may be fruitful, in
showing means of ensuring the greater prosperity
and promoting the mutual intercourse of My
Dominions.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons,

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

My Lords, and Gentlemen,

The relations between the two Houses of
Parliament have been adjusted by the passing of
the Parliament Act.

have given My assent to a Bill which will
supplement the policy already sanctioned by
Parliament, by extending the benefit of Old Age
Pensions to persons previously disqualified by
reason of the receipt of Poor Law relief.

l

It

is with great satisfaction that

have
assented to a Bill to provide for the Insurance of
the industrial population against loss of health,
and for the prevention and cure of sickness
among them, and for the Insurance against un-
employment of those engaged in trades specially
liable to it.

fortifying

I anticipate with confidence that the operation
of this measure, while fortifyino. existing induce-
ments to thrift and self-reliance, will do much to
alleviate misery and to check disease among
those whose social conditions it is designed to
ameliorate ; and to mitigate
hardships
caused to workmen and their families by those
depressions in the labour market which., are
especially felt in certain precarious trades.

the

An Act has been passed consolidating and
amending the Law relating to Copyright. This
measure will enable NI e to accede to the Inter-
national Convention recently signed at Berlin ;
and, when supplemented by corresponding legis-
lation in My self-governing Dominions, will, I
trust, provide a comprehensive and equitable

code of Law regulating this important subject
throughout My Empire.

16th December.

The Act effecting modifications in the Land
system and in the agricultural administration of
Scotland will, I sincerely hope, confer benefit
alike upon the agricultural and crofting popula-
tion and upon the general community.

The measure for the consolidation and amend-
ment of the Coal Mines Regulation Acts, which
marks a great advance on previous legislation for
the health and safety of persons employed in the
mining industry, met with general acceptance
on all sides, and its passage was made easier by
the mutual goodwill with which it was received
by the
and
workmen.

representatives of the owners

The health and well-being of a large class in
the community will be beneficially affected by
the Act for securing a universal half-holiday to
Shopkeepers and Shop Assistants.

I thank you for the assiduity with which you
have discharged your arduous duties, and I pray
that the blessing of Almighty God may attend
your work.

Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia-

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 Wednesday the four-
teenth day of February one thousand nine
hundred and twelve, to be then here holden ;
and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued
to Wednesday the fourteenth day of February
one thousand nine hundred and twelve.
