for dealing with the Lords had been stated in outline, the Cabinet, recognising the essential duties of govern- ment, would proceed with the necessary work of Parlia- ment,—the Army and Navy Estimates, the Army Bill, and such other measures as must be passed unless adminis- trative and financial chaos is to be the result.

That cleared out of the way, the rest of the Session would be devoted to tackling in earnest the remodelling of the Constitution.
