to-day Lord L~snsdowne. speaking to the
Education bill, said that the amendments
proposed by Lord Crewe had left the bill in
such a shape that the House could not

He then proposed as an amendment that
this House records its protest against
the innovation in constitutional procedure
by which the House of Commons re-
jected the whole OF the Lords amendments,
including those proposed by his. Msjesty's
Ministers, without assigning in any case
specific reasons for the rejection"
