A CONSECRATED SESSION
ITS DEFINITE PURPOSE THE TASK BEFORE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. INSPIRED STATEMENTS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received February 18, 0.30 a.m.) LONDON, February 17. Several newspapers state that Mr Redmond will abstain from voting on tho Budget. "The Times" says: "While there is not exactly a hitch, the negotiations with the Nationalists have during the past twenty-four hours assumed a shapo somewhat less satisfactory to tho Government. Advanced Radicals are growing dissatisfied with the Government's decision that in the present situation -no guarantees can bo sought regarding tho Lords." It is explained in Ministerial circles that Mr Asquith's reference in his speech at tho Albert Hall to " safeguards before retaining office if reelected " pointed to the inclusion of certain provisions in the Veto Bill. An inspired statement declares that the session from the beginning has been definitely consecrated to the task of dealing with tho Lords. The " Chronicle ,r says that in tho debate on the "Address-in-Reply Mr Asquith will outline the policy he proposes to adopt, and then take the Budget.
