Premier moves to curb Lords power in historic debate
London June 24 Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman opened the session with a resolution to restrict the House of Lords power to alter or reject bills, asserting Commons supremacy. The plan proposes conferences between chambers, with a possible bill to follow if no accord is reached, and a five year parliament term to curb unpopular measures. The debate drew heavy opposition from A J Balfour and Liberal critics who fear delay and insufficient action. The session is to last three days as parties weigh the change.
