Gentlemen to laugh, but it is a fact. There is another very strong argument, which was not used by the hon. Gentleman, but it was in his mind, and in the mind of the right hon. Gentleman. It was, "We do not want a Report stage; therefore we will not accept any Amendment. Never mind how reasonable are the Amendments, or if they make perfectly clear the meaning of the Bill, we will not accept them, because there will have to be a Report stage." It would save a great deal of time if the hon. Gentleman had got up and in a candid manner told us the real reason for the rejection of the Amendment. It would save my endeavouring to show that the three reasons adduced by the hon. Gentleman were not good, and did not meet the point at all, and it would, no doubt, have pleased hon. Gentlemen opposite who are anxious to retire to the 'country or the seaside. If hon. Gentlemen below the Gangway opposite will allow me to continue my argument, I shall be very much obliged. This Amendment is necessary in the interests of simplification. If it is not accepted, there may be considerable doubt as to the actual meaning of the word "Parliament." What is the objection to putting in the words "Commons House of Parliament"? If the right hon. Gentleman means the Commons House of Parliament, why on earth should he not say so? It is such a simple proposition
