AN AMENDMENT REJECTED. LONDON, 19th April. Lord Hugh Cecil's amendment requiring that the Bill providing for payment of members of the House of Commons be^ not regarded as a Money Bill was rejected by 186 votes to 128. Mr. Asquith said the House of Lords had no right to deal with the matter. The payment could be included in an : Appropriation Bill. ! Mr. Balfour_ said it was clear the Government contemplated tacking great questions of policy on to Money Bills. It was a gross abuse to thus scatter largesse among the members of the House of Commons.
