 LONDON, June 3.-Both houses of parliament met for the first time since the formation of the new coalition min istry. The new members of the cabi- net are however unable to take their places on the ministerial benches in the house of commons owing to the law which made them ineligible to sit until reelected by their various constituent cies. The situation was speedily rem edied for the commons passed in all the stages, a bill removing this disability for the period of the war. The lords passed on first reading the same bill and will take Up the further stages to- morrow. There was but little opposition.
 There were some mutterings in the lower house against the bill being rushed through at one sitting, thus pre- venting a general discussion of Premier AsQuith's decision calling upon the op- position to assist him in carrying on the war This was slenced by Sir John Simon, the new secretary of state for home affairs, who led the house in the absence of the premier, promising to grant a day for the discussion of po- litical changes. Laurence Ginnell, Irish nationalist, who follows the leadership of none of the parliamentary parties and is the only member of his own par ty, was not to be denied and despite the censorship of the speaker, succeeded in saying that the members of the house who were formerly calling each other liars and political assassins," are now aspiring to give each other jobs and were afraid to face the electors.
 Ginnell was attacking Asouith's po- litical character when the speaker ord cred him to resume his seat. After the passage of the suspensory bill the house of commons passed to first read ing a bill establishing the ministry of munitions, of which David Lloyd George will have charge.
 While it is expected the new govern ment will have the support of the whole house of commons and the house of lords, with the exception of few ir- reconcilables such as Ginnell. there is to be unofficial opposition" of both houses. Leadership of that in the low CT house has been assumed by Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, uniOnist who to- day put the time honored question to the leader of the opposition as to the course of business next week By the courtesy extended privy councillors, MT. Chaplin took a seat in front of the
 
 he had as companions new and old pri- Wy councillors all known supporters of the coalition.
 Behind them. however was a little group of radicals who will accept noth- ing but liberal government, who, as token of their disapproval of the coa- lition crossed the floor of the house to seats from which they could face the ministers and he in q better DOSitiOu tO cross examine them.
 The nationalists retained their seats "below the gangway' on the opposition side, where they are separated from all the other parties and can watch closely everything connected with Ireland. It is said they are prepared to raise a row if, as has been reported the govern ment purposes to appoint the Right Hon. Jabes Campbell, unionist member for Dublin University, as Lord Chan cellor for Ireland
 The proceedings in the house of lords Were confined to first reading of the bill relieving the new ministers from appealing for reelection and to a few remarks by the Marquis of Crewe and Lord LansdOwne on the entry of Italv into the war These two members. heretofore leaders of the opposing par ties sat together on the government bench, the former as lord president of the council, and the latter as a minister without portfolio. Facing them from the opposition bench was Lord SaIis- bury.
 Sir Stanley Buckmaster, the new lord high chancellor, occupied the woolsack for the first time
