Que session it has been manifest task leading
the House OF Commons, growing too burden
some fer priuc minister who never spared

moos at the close Of a session in which
he has been the ccntre 10 strong personal
| discussions, but it cannot be doubted that

| the leadership of the House of Commons is an
event far too important to stand alone. Before
long further changes must take place to br1ug

which is BETTING reward for his public ser.
