History of the Closure. -

Tt is in keeping with the parliamentary ideal that there should
be full freedom of discussion on any subject coming before. the
House of Commons, and to secure this is the purpose of the rules.of |=
that assembly. When a bill is introduced it is first read with the
Speaker-in the chair and time is given for the members’to consider
and understand it. The second reading takes place in due time,
Then, according to custom, everyone speaking unce may say: what
he thinks on the principle involved,

If this is accepted the billis referred to the committee of the
whole house, The Speaker leaves the chair, and another member
acts as the presiding officer,
are made. The bill is read elause by clause.
occasion, explains each proposition.
questions, to support or condemn, to offer amendments or to urge
the omission of a section, or the inclusion of anewone. He may
speak as often as he likes, as breifly or as iong:as he pleases.
When all have had their opportunity, the clause as-it is introduced,
or as it is changed, is adopted, and finally the bill itself is approved
and reported by the chairman to the Speaker, who receives it, and,
the House agreeing, it is ordered to stand for a ‘third reading, -°

This third reading may be.the oceasion for debate or not, as
members choose,
does rule. It has, however to explain in the fullest way, its un-
derstanding of the meaning of all, it proposes, The minority,
whether large or small, if it does its duty, can prevent hasty legis-
lation or foree attention to bad legislation and so rouse the public to
a sense of the danger that threatens it. oe . -

Such a system should not be lightly changed.. When, in 1881,
_ it was changed in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom |:

The promoter, on,

it was with some doubt and hesitation and because men felt that

what was designed to secure freedom of debate, and which had'se-
eured freedom of debate through centuries, was being abused and

turned into a means not. only of stopping the work : of, Parliament,
but of paralysing the arm of thelaw and preventing the Government).
from | fulfilling its duty of protecting the person and property of} 7

the subject.
It.is noted however, that the patience of the Parliament at

Westminster would stand less than twenty-four hours of -continous |]! ;
Then Mr. Brand, the Speaker, after consultation |,

obstruction,
with the authoyities on the powers and constitution of Parliament
and after informing Mr, Gladstone,.the prime minister, ..uged* the
powers of his office and stopped the debate on the question, which
Yelated to the introduction of a coercion bill. The act was chal-
lenged the next day. Mr, Brand declared that he hadiacted:.on
his. own responsibility and from a sense of duty to the House-of
Commons,
time described as the most protracted ever heard in the House: of
Commons. ; ”

The next process in the change came in the shape of a resolution

vesting the Speaker with all the powers of the House to-:regulate |}

business when voted urgent by. three-quarters: of the. members.

There was more or less resort to the powers thus outlined,:and:. ex- I

pulsions of obstructive members in succeeding years,

.. In. 1887 “‘clogure by guillotine” was ordained and a vote.on the flees
_ issue on a fixed day was accepted by the House as necessary: to: the on
carrying on of its business and the suppression. df an -obatructive

minority. : rr ee?
Then. the rules were changed so that at any. time,. with: a: hun-
dred members present, the House could by a majority close a.debate.

in 1893, at the instance of Mr, Gladstone, « again closure was adopt- t

‘ed in connection with proceedings in. the committee of. the ‘whole,
