PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
Lord Randolph Churchill’s Letter to Mr. Speaker and his Correspondence with Mr. Gladstone in 1886.
Lord Randolph Churchill to the Speaker.
Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, S.W.: Nov. 30, 1886.
Dear Mr. Speaker,—I venture to submit to you for your information and consideration, the result of the deliberations of the Committee of the Cabinet on the question of Parliamentary Procedure.
It would be of the greatest possible advantage to me if I could have the honour of an interview with you, in order to examine and explain more fully than I could do by letter the effect and object of the various rules proposed. In case you should be coming to town before the 22nd or 23rd December and would make an appointment with me, I would be happy to wait upon you at any time or place which would be most convenient to you.
Two of the proposed new provisions especially concern the Chair:
1. The Closure of debate. (Rule No. 1.)
2. Motions for adjournment of the House at question time. (Rule No. 6.)
