THE ROW IN THE COMMONS
QUESTIONS OF PRIVILEGE.
LONDON, March 7. In the House of Commons, Mr John E. Redmond, member for Waterford, complained that during the scene on the previous night some members had been suspended and ejected in error. The Speaker said that any member who desired to complain must, do so in writing. The discussion would then hei a matter of privilege for such members as were concerned.
Mr Redmond intimated his desire to widen the discussion when it was opened.
Tho Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, leader of the House, said : “What Mr Redmond desires is a discussion on what occurred, and I suppose he means to prevent a recurrence.” (Ministerial cheers). Later, Mr Balfour gave notice to amend the Standing Orders sc as to provide that members whose conduct was such as to involve forcible removal from the House should be suspended for the remainder of the session.
