Peers Accept Veto Ends Historic Lords Battle in Britain
Premier Asquith wins 131 to 11 as the House of Lords accepts the liberal motion limiting their veto and boosting Commons prerogatives. Bishops and archbishops support the government, while nobles like the Dukes of Norfolk and Newcastle side with the opposition. The vote ends a long constitutional clash, with MPs racing to the galleries as the outcome stuns observers. Viscount Morley declares the creation of peers would follow a government victory. A later note mentions Lloyd George's pay proposal for MPs and summer excursions offered by railway ads.
