Note 9 — Chapter XV · MR. LABOUCHERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE CABINET
Reading edition
On March 13, 1894, Mr. Labouchere had moved an amendment to the Address, praying the Queen to withdraw the power of the Lords to veto Bills. The division was called during the dinner hour, when the House was comparatively empty, and the Government were found to be in a minority of 2. Sir William Harcourt, who reproved Mr. Labouchere for the levity with which he approached a great constitutional question, got out of the dilemma by moving a new Address.
