Excerpt from Scenes in the CommonsFriday evening, nominally a Government, is really a private member's night, inasmuch as the first Order Of the Day is bound to be for the consideration of Supply. And when money is asked for, any member may raise an extraneous discussion, according to the constitutional precept that questions of grievance come before Supply.It is a theory Of the Commons that if the proposer of an abstract resolution, such as That in the Opinion Of this House the time has arrived when roast-beef ought never to be served at table without horse-radish, gains a majority Of votes in a division, Government ought to take the matter in hand With as little delay as possible. Private members, however, have not much Opportunity of adding to the Statutes without the consent and assistance of the Treasury Bench. This point is worth dwelling on.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
