LABOUR AGAINST HOUSE OF LORDS.
Dy Telegraph.—Press Assn.—-Copyright. “Times” Service. LONDON, June 22. The political representative of “The Times” says: “Labour’s attitude towards the i !\ rra of the House of Lords is frankly hostile to any scheme preserving even to a limited extent the hereditary principle of the Upper House. They argue that hereditary Peers selected by their fellows will be naturally those attending most regularly. Therefore, the present sj-stem will lie maintained under a different guise. The Labour Party also strongly objects to the suggestion that no future reform or abolition shall be carried out except by the consent of the Upper House itself. “The Liberals also hold this view, and they will resist any proposal drastically to alter the Parliament Act. They also strongly oppose the suggestion that the task of certifying the Money Bill shall be transferred from the Speaker to a joint comrhittee pf the two Houses.”
