LONDON, June 27. In the House of Lords last night the Earl of Cromer gave notice of his intention to move for the insertion of a new clause in the Parliament (Veto) Bill for appointing a joint committee of seven members of each House, of which the Speaker would be chairman, to decide | what is a money bill and other doubtful points, the Speaker and Chancellor of the I Exchequer to select the committee in such i a manner as to secure an impartial trii bunal.

Lord • Lansdowne gave notice of an lai amendment to clause 2, exempting from al the operation of the Parliament Bill all ai bills affecting the existence of the Crown, tl Protestant succession, Home Rule for Ire- oi land, Scotland, Wales, or England, or anything which the joint committee of w tbe two Houses regards as an issue of c: great gravity, upon which the judgment n of the country had been insufficiently ex- t: pressed. g
