My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

My  relations with  Foreign  Powers  continue to 

be  friendly. 

The  state  of  war  between  Italy  and  Turkey, 
unfortunately, still  exists.  My  Government  are 
ready,  whenever  a  favourable  opportunity  may 
present  itself,  to  associate  themselves  with  other 
Powers in  any  mediation  that may  help to  bring 
hostilities  to  an  end. 

The  situation  in  Persia  continues  to  engage 
the  serious  attention  of  My  Ministers,  who are 
in  constant  communication  with  the  Russian 
Government  in  regard  to  the  best  means  of 
enabling  the Persian Government  to  re-establish 
order  and  tranquillity  iti  the  country.  Papers 
will  be  laid  as  sOon  as  possible  before  Parlia­
ment in connection  with Persian  affairs. 

I  trust  that  the  crisis  in  China  may  soon be 
satisfactorily  terminated  by  the  establishment  of 
a  stable form of  Government  in conformity  with 
the  views  of  the  Chinese  people.  My  Govern­
ment  continue  to  observe  an  attitude  of  strict 
non-intervention, while taking  all necessary steps 
to  protect  British  life  and  property.  1  fully 
recognise  that the leaders on both  sides in  China 
have  shown  every  desire  to  safeguard  the lives 
and  interest of foreigners resident  in  the Empire. 
Papers  regarding  the  affairs  of  China  will  be 
laid  before  you. 

I  am  glad  to  be  able  to  announce that  at an 
International  Conference  which  sat  recently  at 
The  Hague,  and at which  I  was  represented,  an 
agreement  was  arrived  at in regard  to the  regu­
lation of  the  trade  in  opium and  kindred  drugs. 
A  Copy of the  Convention, signed  at The  Hague 
on  the  23rd  January,  will  be  presented  to 
Parliament.

In  My  Indian  dominions  the  Durbar  which 
I  held  with  the  Queen-Empress  at  Delhi,  in 
order  to  make  known  in  person  My  succession 
to  the  Imperial  Crown  of  India,  has furnished 
Me  with  overwhelming  proof  of  the  devotion  of 
the  Princes,  Nobles,  and Peoples  of  My  Indian 
Empire  to  Ourselves,  and  of  their  loyalty  to 
My  rule. 
In  the  great  cities  of  Calcutta  and 
Bombay  the  spontaneous  manifestations  of  an 
enthusiastic  affection  and  loyalty  with  which 
We  were  received  by  all  classes  of  citizens 
touched  Us  most  deeply. 

We  were  not  less  moved  by  the  welcome 
which-has  been  accorded  to  Us  on  Our retiarn 
home,  and  by  the  sympathy  shown  to  Us  by  ail 
My  subjects  in  the  personal  sorrow  which  has 
overtaken  My  Family. 

I  trust  that  the  transfer  of  the  seat  of  the 
from  Calcutta  to  the 

Government  of  India 
ancient  capital,  Delhi,  and  the  creation,  in  con­
sequence  of  that transfer, of  a Governorship  for 
the  Presidency  of  Bengal,  of  a  new  Lieutenant 
Governorship 
for  Behar,  Chota 
Nagpur,  and  Orissa,  and  of  a  Chief  Com­
missionership  for  Assam,  may  be  fruitful  in 
promoting  the prosperity  of  My  Indian  Empire. 

in  Council 

A  Bill  to, provide  for  certain  details  required 
for  the constitution  of the new  Provinces  will  be 
laid  before  you. 

Gentlemen  of the  House of  Commons, 

The  Estimates  for  the  expenditure  of  the 
coming  year  will  in  due  course  be  laid  before 
you. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

I  view  with  grave  concern  the  prospect  of 
disputes  between  employers  and  workmen,  and 
I firmly trust that  a reasonable  spirit may  prevail 
on both  sides  and avoid  developments  that  would 
seriously  affect the trade  of  the  country  and the 
welfare  of My  people. 

A  measure  for  the  better  Government  of 

Ireland  will  be submitted  to  you. 

A  Bill  will  be  laid  before  you  to  terminate 
the  Establishment  of  the  Church  in  Wales,  and 
to  make provision  for  its  temporalities. 

Proposals  will  be  brought  forward  for  the 
amendment  of  the  Law  with  respect  to  the 
Franchise  and  the  Registration  of  Electors. 

A  Bill  will be  introduced  to  give  effect to  the 
unanimous  recommendation  of  the  last  Imperial 
Conference, for the amendment and consolidation 
of the  Law  relating  to  British  nationality. 

You  will,  further, be  invited  to  consider  pro­
posals  for  dealing  by  legislation  with  certain 
social  and  industrial-reforms. 

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

Most  Gracious  Sovereign, 

We,  Your  Majesty's  most  dutiful  and  loyal 
subjects,  the  Commons  of  the  United  Kingdom 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  in  Parliament 
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—(Sir  Harry  Verney) ; 

Which  Amendment  was,  at  the  end  of  the  Second 
Question,  to  add  the  words  " B u  t  this  House Chamber 
humbly  expresses its regret  that Your  Majesty's ^ruction.) 
Gracious  Speech  contains  no  reference  to  the 
pledge  given by  Your  Majesty's  Ministers  that 
they  would  make  proposals  for  the  reconstruc­
tion  of  the  Second  Chamber  without  delay, and 
humbly represents  to Your  Majesty that it would 
be improper  to  proceed  with  measures  so  vitally 
affecting the  safety of  the State  and the interests 
of  Your  people as those named in Your  Majesty's 
Speech  whilst  the  constitution  of Parliament  is 
still  incomplete  and  Your  Majesty's  subjects  are 
deprived  of  the  usual  safeguard of  constitutional 
government"—(Mr.  Frederick  Edwin  Smith) ;

those  words  be  there  added:  —  The  House

Metropolitan
Railway Bia

The  Metropolitan  District  Railway  Bill  was, 
  according  to  Order,  read  a  second  time,  and 

committed. 

Local Bating.

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being 
proposed,  That,  in  the  opinion  of  this  House, 
the  present  method  of  raising  local  revenues 
ought  to  be  changed,  inasmuch  as  it  unduly 
favours  some  ratepayers  and  unduly  penalises 
others, obstructs industry, causes  unemployment, 
and  prevents  the  healthy  growth  of  our  cities, 
towns,  and  villages  ;  and  this  House  further 
declares  that  local  authorities  should  be  given 
the power of raising local  revenue  in such  a way 
that the  existing  obstacles  to the employment  of 
labour  and  capital  are  removed,  and  rates 
imposed  instead  on  the  value  of  the  privilege 
enjoyed  by  those  who  benefit  from  the  per­
formance  of  public  services, namely,  upon land 
values—(Mr.  Wedgwood) ; 

An  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made  to 
the  Question,  in  1. 1, by  leaving  out  from  the 
word  "  That "  to  the  end  of  the  Question, and 
adding  the words " this  House,  while  recognising 
the  claim of  ratepayers  to substantial  relief, is of 
opinion that such relief should  be  sought  in  the 
provision  of  new  sources  of  local  revenue,  in 
accordance  with  the  recommendations  of  the 
Royal  Commission  on  Local  Taxation,  and  not 
in increased  taxation  of  that  form  of  property 
which  already  bears  an  excessive  share of  both 
imperial  and  local  burdens—(Mr.  Remnant),—
instead  thereof. 

Closure 
claimed,  but 
Mr.  Speaker 
withholds his 
assent.

Mr.  Wedgwood rose  in  his place  and  claimed

said  Message  into  consideration.  


Resolved,  That  this  House  doth  concur  with  

in  the  said  Resolution.  —  (Mr. 

the  Lords 
Gulland.) 


Ordered,  That  a Message  be  sent  to  the  Lords  

to  acquaint  them  therewith :  And  that the  Clerk  

do  carry  the  said  Message.  


A  Motion  was  made,  and  the  Question  being Industrial  


proposed,  That  this  House  is  of  opinion  that  the  Unrest-

recent  industrial  disturbances  show  the  necessity  

of  a  thorough  and  authoritative  investigation 
into  the  causes  of the  present  Industrial  Unrest,  

and  into possible  remedies therefor;  and, in  view  

of  the  prospective  recurrence  of  such  disturb­
ances,  calls  upon  the  Government  to prosecute  

such  investigation  by  all  appropriate  means  and  

in  the speediest manner compatible with  adequate  

inquiry into the issues involved—(Mr.  Crawshay-

Williams) ; 


A n  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made  to 
the Question,  in 1. 2, by leaving out from the  word 
"disturbances  "  to  the  end  of the  Question,  and 
adding  the  words  " a re  caused  by  a  deplorable 
insufficiency  of  wages,  which  has  persisted  not­
withstanding  a great expansion of national wealth 
and  a considerable  increase  in  the  cost  of  living, 
and  shows  the necessity  for preventing  the  con­
tinuance  of  such  unequal  division of  the  fruits of 
industry  by  legislation  securing  the  right  to 
work,  a  maximum  eight-hours  working  day,  a 
minimum  living  wage,  and  the  nationalisation  of 
land,  and  other  monopolies; 
railways,  mines, 
this  House  is  therefore  adverse to  the  delays  of 
further  inquiries,  which  only  allow  the  public 
to  forget the  pressing  nature  of  the  unrest,  and 
calls  upon the  Government  to  introduce  legisla­
tion  with  the  least  possible  delay " — ( M r.  Keir 
Hardie),— 

instead  thereof. 

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

And  it being  Eleven  of  the  clock,  the  Debate 

stood  adjourned.

the  words  "  this  House,  while recognising  with 
satisfaction  the  reforms already  accomplished  in 
Excise  administration  by  the  Government  of 
India,  (1)  expresses the hope that the  connection 
of  the Government of  India with the manufacture 
and  saleoof  Opium  for  other  than  medical  uses 
will  be  terminated  at  the  earliest possible  date, 
and, (2)  in  view  of the  continuous  growth  in the 
drink revenue  of  India,  is of  opinion that further 
reforms  are  required  in  the  existing  system  of 
licensing,  particularly  in  the  direction  of  giving 
to  the  inhabitants  through  the  advisory  com­
mittees a more effective voice both in determining 
the  number  and  location  of  liquor  shops and in 
the  safeguarding  of  areas where liquor  shops  do 
not  already  exist  from  the  introduction  of  the 
drink  trade"—(Mr.  Charles  Roberts), —instead 
thereof.

adding  the  words  "  a  Bill  which  proposes  to 
establish  a separate  Parliament and  executive in 
Ireland  in  defiance of  the  clearly expressed wish 
of  a  great  section  of  its  people, which  is  pre­
sented  by  the  Government  as  the  first  step 
towards  the  creation  of several  separate  legisla­
tures and executives within the United Kingdom, 
which  has  never  received  the  approval  of  the 
country,  and  which  is  introduced  while  the 
constitution  is  admittedly  in  suspense,  requires 
the  full  and  unfettered  consideration  of  this 
House,  and  this  House  declines  to  apply  any 
restrictions to its discussion "—(Mr. Bonar  Law),

Banbury),—instead  thereof,  be  resumed  upon

Mr.  Speaker  addressed  the  House,  as  fol­

loweth  : 

Before  calling  upon  the  Prime  Minister  fo> 
move  the  Motion  which  stands  in  his  name,  I 
propose  to  make  a  suggestion  to  the  House. 
It  is  rather  unusual,  perhaps,  for  the  Speaker 
to  intervene  in  a  case  of  this  kind;  but  the 
circumstances  in  which  we  stand  to-day  are 
somewhat  unusual. 
I  think  nobody  in  this 
House  would  desire  to  see  a  repetition  of  the 
scenes  which  occurred  yesterday. 
I  do  not 
know that  it  is necessary  for  me  to further refer 
to  them. 
It  must  be  evident  to  the  whole 
House  that  the  proposals  the  Prime  Minister 
made  yesterday  were  met  with  very  strong 
feeling  on  the  part  of  the  Opposition,  and  it 
was  felt  by  them  that  an  entirely  new course 
was being  adopted  in  order  to  remedy  a  wrong, 
if  wrong  there  be. 
I  cannot  help  thinking  that 
if  the  House  had  an  opportunity  of  rather more 
consideration  of  the  circumstances  under  which 
we  stand,  and'  of  the  position  in  which  the 
parties respectively  are in regard  to  this  matter, 
another  solution  of  the  difficulty might be found 
more  in  accordance  with  the  old  precedents 
which  have  governed  this  House,  and  would  not 
create  or  set  up  a  new  precedent. 
I  do  not 
think  this  would  be a proper opportunity  for me-
to  state  to  the  House  what  the  suggestion  is 
that  I  have  to  make.  That  can  better  be done 
by private consultation ;  but I  venture to suggest 
humbly  to  the  House  that,  before we  renew  a 
discussion  of  these  matters,  the  House  should 
take  a little  further  time for  consideration,  and 
that those  who  are  charged  with  submitting  to 
the  House  a  proposal  in  order  to  get  over  the 
3  G 

410 	

26th,—21th

difficulties which  have  occurred should  be  given 
a  somewhat  longer  time  for  consultation  and 
preparation. 
I  believe  I  am  supposed  to  be  the 
Moderator  of  this Assembly,  and it  is  my desire, 
whilst  maintaining  the  rights  of  the  majority,  at 
the  same  time  to  act  as  the  protector  of  the 
liberties  of  the  minority.  Therefore,  it  is  only 
in  that  sense that  I  venture to make  the  sugges­
tion  to  the  House,  and  I  must  leave  it  to  the 
House  to  decide  whether  or  not  the  suggestion 
I  need  only 
which  I make  is a  reasonable  one. 
add,  of  course,  that if  the  House  thinks  fit  not 
to  proceed  to-day,  the  Motion  of  the  Prime 
Minister  will  still  remain  on  the  Paper,  and  if 
no way  out  of  the  difficulty  is  to  be  found  the 
Motion  would  have  to  be  taken  up  at  a  future 
time. 
I  cannot  help thinking  that  a little  more 
reflection  and  consideration  of  the  precedents 
in  the case may lead  to a solution of  the difficulty 
which  may  be  acceptable  to  all  sides  of  the 
House. 

Adjournment. 

Resolved,  That  this  House  do  now  adjourn

the  Government  of  Ireland— 

To  authorise  the  payment  in each  year,  out  of 
the  Consolidated  Fund  of  the  United  Kingdom, 
into  the  Irish  Exchequer,  or  to  any  body  or 
person  in the  stead  of  the  Irish  Exchequer—

time  of  the  passing  of  the  said  Act  of  the 
branches  of  government  to  be  administered 
thereunder  by  the  Irish  Government,  and, 
in  the  case  of  the  future  transfer  of  any 
other  branches  of  government  to  tbe  Irish 
Government,  of  further  sums  based  on  the 
saving  to  the  Exchequer  of  the  United 
Kingdom  resulting  from  the  transfer ;  the 
amount  of  the  said  fixed  sum  and  any  such 
further  sums  to  be  determined  in  manner 
provided  by  the  said  Act,  with  power  to 
make  payments  on  account  of  those  sums 
pending  that determination  ;  and 

(b)	  of  a sum of  five  hundred thousand pounds, 
diminishing  in  each  year  after  the  third 
year  of  payment  by  the sum  of  fifty  thou­
sand  pounds,  until  it  is  reduced  to  the  sum 
of  two  hundred  thousand  pounds ;  and 

(c)	  of  sums  equal  to  the  proceeds  of  any 
taxes  imposed  by  the  Irish  Parliament  in 
pursuance  of  the  powers  given  by  the  said 
Act,  the  amount  of  those  proceeds  to  be 
determined  in  manner provided  by  the  said 
A c t: 

And  to  authorise  such  Customs  duties  to  be 
charged  on  articles  brought  into  Great  Britain 
from  Ireland  or into  Ireland from  Great  Britain, 
and such  alterations  of  drawbacks  or  allowances 
to  be made  in  respect  of  those  articles,  as  may 
be  provided  for  by  the  said  Act,  in  cases  where 
any  Customs  or  Excise  duty  levied  in  Great 
Britain  is  levied  at a  different rate  from  that  at 
which  the  duty  is  levied  in  Ireland,  or  where 
any  Customs  or  Excise  duty  is  levied  in  Great 
Britain  and  not  levied  in  Ireland,  or  levied  in 
Ireland  and not  levied  in  Great  Britain  : 

And  to  authorise  the  payment,  out  of  the

judges  or  Irish  officers,  or  officers  or  constables 
of  the Royal  Irish  Constabulary  or of  the Dublin 
Metropolitan  Police  force,  provision  may  be 
made  in  pursuance  of  the  said Act,  and  also  of 
any  sums for  the  payment  of  which,  out  of  the 
Consolidated  Fund  or  out  of  moneys  provided 
by  Parliament,  provision  may  be  made  by  the 
said  Act  in  the  event  of  the  failure  of  the  Irish 
Government  to  make  any  such  payment.—(Mr. 
Herbert  Samuel.)

The  Lords'  Amendment  in  p.  1,  1.  9,  after 
Clause  1, 
(Amendment  of 
48  &  49  Vict.  c.  69,  s.  2),  the  first  Amendment, 
being  read  a  second  time;

And  a  Motion  being  made,  and  the  Question 
being  put,  That  this  House  doth  agree  with  the 
Lords  in  the  said  Amendment—(Mr.  Secretary 
M'Kenna)  ; 

The  House  proceeded  to  a  Division,  and  Mr. 
Speaker  stated  that  he  thought  the  Ayes  had 
it;  and  on  his  decision  being  challenged  it 
appeared  to him that  the Division was frivolously 
claimed,  and  he  accordingly  called  upon  the 
Members  who  challenged  his  decision  to  rise  in 
their  places,  and  declared  the  Ayes  had  it, 
Seven  Members  only  who  had  challenged  his 
decision  having  stood  up.

Vagrancy  Act,  1898,  anything  in  any  other  Act 
to  the  contrary  notwithstanding"),  the  next 
Amendment,  being  read  a second  time  ; 

The  Amendment  was  divided. 

So much of  the Lords'  Amendment  as proposed 
to  leave  out  from  ( "  months")  to  the  end  of 
subsection  (2)  was  disagreed  to. 

And  so  much  of  the  Lords'  Amendment  as 

proposed  to  insert  ( " B u  t  nothing  in  this  sub­
section  shall  affect  the  powers  of  a  court  of 
summary  jurisdiction  to  deal  with  a  person 
deemed  to  be  a  rogue  and  vagabond  under  the 
Vagrancy  Act,  1898,  anything  in  any  other  Act 
to  the  contrary  notwithstanding")  was  agreed 
to. 

The  Lords'  Amendment  in  p.  3,  1. 40,  at  the 

end,  insert  as  a new  subsection — 

( "  (4)  Every  person,  of  either  sex,  who  acts

amended  and extended by this  section shall  apply 
accordingly  "),  the  next  Amendment,  being  read 
a  second  time  ; 

And  a  Motion  being  made,  and  the  Question 
being  proposed,  That  this  House  doth  agree 
with  the  Lords  in  the  said  Amendment—(Mr.

General.) 

And  the  Question  being  put,  That  the  words 
"  Every  female  who  is  proved  to  have,  for  the

influence  over  the  movements  of  a  prostitute,  in

drawn  up  the  Reasons  accordingly,  which  they 
had  directed  him  to  report  to  the  House;  and 
the  same  were  read,  as  follow : 

1 

r 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendments  

made  by  the  Lords  in  p.  57,  1.  33,  leave  out  

( " s e l l " );  and   in  p.  58,  1.  6,  leave  out  sub­
clause  (2)  of  Clause  90,  and  insert  new  sub­
clause  (2)—  


(  "  (2)  The  Corporation  shall  not  under  the 
powers  of  this  section  themselves  execute  the 
wiring  of  private  property,  except  between  the 
main  of  the  Corporation  and  the  consumer's 
meter,  but  they  may  enter into  contracts  for  the 
execution  of  any  of  the  powers  of  this  section, 
including the wiring of private property, provided 
that  the  contractor  acts  independently  of  the 
Corporation in the execution of the contract.  The 
Corporation  shall  not  under such powers  sell  any 
such  electrical  fittings,  e x c e p t  through  a  con­
tractor  carrying  on his business independently  of 
the  Corporation"),  for the  following  Reasons  : — 

1.  Because  in  1898  the  Sheffield  Corporation 
under  express  Parliamentary  sanction  purchased 
their  electricity  undertaking,  which  included  a 
wiring  and fittings business. 

2.  Because  the price  paid  by  the  Corporation 
for the  wiring  and fittings business  was  £13,344, 
and  further  capital  to  the  extent  of  upwards 
of  £7,000  has been  invested therein,  and  the said 
sums  were  borrowed  with  the  sanction  of  'he 
Local  Government  Board.

[No. 160. 

3.  Because  the  Corporation  carried  on  and 

Mr.  Masterman  presented,  by  His  Majesty's National  


developed  the business  bona fide, believing  them­
selves  to  have  the  necessary  powers,  until  the 
beginning  of  this  year,  when  the  courts  decided 
otherwise,  notwithstanding  proceedings  pending 
since  1906. 

4.  Because  there  is  only  one  electrical  con­
tractor  in  Sheffield  who  commenced  business 
before  the  wiring  and  fittings  business  was 
established,  and  only  fifteen  who  commenced 
business  prior  to  the  acquisition  of  the  business 
by  the  Corporation. 

5.  Because  the  Corporation  have  conducted 
the  business  so  that  it  has  never  been  a  charge 
upon  the  rates,  but,  on  the  contrary,  has  con­
tributed  towards  the  other  portion  of  their 
electricity  undertaking. 

6.  Because  the  Committee  of  the  House  of 
Commons,  after  hearing  opponents  and  fully 
considering  the  matter, were  of  opinion  that  the 
powers should be granted ; and Sir Henry  Kimber, 
the  Chairman  of the  Committee,  stated  that— 

The  Committee  do  not  ignore,  but  they  quite 
recognise,  the  principle  of municipal trading 
not  being  encouraged  beyond  what  is  neces­
sary  and  expedient  in  the  special  circum­
stances  of  this  case for the  inhabitants. 

Also  that— 

It  is  a  case  in  which,  although  there  is  the 
objection  to  municipal  trading  in  principle, 
yet,  in  the circumstances  which  have  trans­
pired in tbe  course  of  the last fourteen years, 
including  the  fact that  Parliament  in  1903 
granted  an  analogous  power  as  regards 
motors, powers  to sell  fittings,  and so  on,  the 
word  "  sell,"  giving  the  power  to  sell,  may 
be retained  in  the  Clause. 

He  further stated  that— 

The  Committee  have  given  most  anxious 
attention  to  the  principle  embodied  in  the 
Model Clause, of avoiding municipal trading, 
but  we  think  this,  as  an  exceptional  case, 
might  be  allowed. 

The  said  Reasons,  being  read  a  second  time, 

were  agreed  to. 

Ordered,  That  a Message  be  sent  to  the  Lords 
to  communicate  the  said  Reasons  (with  the  Bill 
and  Amendments)  :  And  that  the  Clerk  do 
carry  the  same. 

Adjournment.  Whereupon  Mr.  Speaker,  pursuant 

to  the 
Order  of  the  House  of  the  14th  day  of  October 
last,  proposed  the  Question,  That  this  House  do 
now  adjourn : 

And  notice being taken  that Forty  Members 
were  not  present,  the  House  was  told  by 
Mr.  Speaker;  and  Forty  Members  not 
being  present,  the  House  was  adjourned 
by  Mr.  Speaker  without  a  Question  first

A ct  the  proceeds  in  Ireland  of  the  Irish  tax  in

as follow  : 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made  by  the  Lords  in  p.  5,  sub-clause  (m), 
because  they  think  that  the  Lords'  Amendment 
is  unduly  general,  and  should  be  limited  by  the 
qualification  now  inserted  ;  and  that  the  pro­
vision  as, to compensation may most  conveniently 
be  put  in  the  same  subsection.

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made  by  the  Lords  in  p. 4,  1.  17,  because  they

The  said  Reason,  being  read  a  second  time, 

was  agreed  to. 

Ordered,  That  a  Message  be  sent  to the  Lords

efficiency  of  the  Public  Service  in  its  various 
branches. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

I  have  assented  to  an Act  which  enables  effect 
to  be  given  to  the  administrative  changes  in 
India  which  I  announced  at  my  Coronation 
Durbar. 

I  have sanctioned  a number of Statutes dealing 
with  domestic  reforms,  from  which  I  anticipate 
beneficial  results. 

It  is my  earnest  prayer  that  the  blessing  of 
tbe  Almighty  may  rest  upon  all  your  past  and 
coming  labours.
