LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT.
[To TIIE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—In your article in the Spectator of April 7th approving, upon the whole, of my proposal in the House of Commons for the improvement of the procedure of Parliament, you attribute to me, and comment upon, one suggestion which you report in an incomplete form. In advocating large devolu- tion of local matters, now the subject of private Bill legisla- tion, I did not propose to substitute for Committees of the House only, as you suppose, the Town and County Councils, but also, and in fact primarily, Commissions, such as the one which formed part of the Private Bill Legislation (Scotland) Bill. There is room—and the most urgent need—for both, and perhaps more.—I am, Sir, &c., ALBERT K. ROLLIT.
30 Lowndes Square, S.W., April 11th.
