BATH
The Hot Springs of Bath, rising at a natural tem- perature of 120°, rich in radium emanation, have never been in greater demand nor more appreciated than they are to-day. Wounded soldiers and invalided civilians alike are finding renewed health and strength in the Bath treatment. The waters are administered at the extensive Bathing Establishment by every means that science can devise for the balneotherapeutic treatment of disease. Rheumatism and Neuritis and " Nerve Shock " are but a few of the complaints successfully treated here. Bright, cheerful, restful surroundings and good music help the invalid to regain health, and provide for the pleasure and entertainment of those who come to Bath only for a rest and change. The Roman Baths of Bath, still standing in wonder- ful preservation, are amongst the finest Roman antiquities in Europe. No place in Britain is richer in beautiful buildings and historic houses of the XVIII century.
To many visitors the architectural beauty and his- torical associations of the city appeal very strongly, while others are attracted by the delightful walks and excursions all around.
There are first-class concerts at the Pump Room every day, frequent special performances, and good companies at the Theatres.
"For 2000 Years"
is the title of a recently published booklet giving particulars about the Hot Springs of Bath, which will be sent post free, together with Hotel and Apartment List and other information, on application to —

PREFACE.
♦
HE forthcoming Session will be the eighth of the present Parliament, which has now been in existence for a longer period than any of its twenty- jf**?*1 nine predecessors since the date of the Union. mr Im" Having met for the first time on January 31st, 191 1, it has sat for upwards of seven years, and during that period considerably more than a quarter of the Representation of the whole House has been changed. The alterations in personnel will be found in full detail under * CHANGES SINCE GENERAL Election, Dec. 1910," on pages vii to xxviii. These show JJ that during the present Parliament the unusual number of 220 Bye-Elections have taken place, resulting in the return of 180 new Members. 101 Members have resigned their Seats, or vacated same by reason either of appointment to Offices of profit under the Crown or on elevation to or succession to Peerages. 79 Members have died, 29 have been raised to the Peerage, 76 have 'been sworn of the Privy Council, 47 have been added to the Roll of Baronets, 58 have received the honour of Knighthood, 1 the Order of Merit, 2 have been nominated Companions of Honour and 38 Companions of the Orders of Knighthood* 1 Member was disqualified, being subsequently re-elected, and there have been 1 1 successions to Peerages and 4 to Baronetcies, while at the time of going to press there are not any seats vacant.
It is curious to note that although the present Parliament was rtself elected under the provisions of the Septennial Act of 1716, and by the Parliament Act of 191 1 reduced its life and that of subse- quent Parliaments to five years, nevertheless by the irony _ of fate it has on more than one occasion extended that period until it has now lasted even longer than would have been the case under the old regime, if it had come to an end merely by effluxion of time.
The next General Klection, it is more than probable, will be held 00 the New Register under the extended Franchise enacted by the Representation of the People Act, passed on the last day ^ of the last Session (February 6th, 1918), which provides for A* °rm the enfranchisement of women over 30 years of age, and for the taking of votes of persons in Naval and Military employment, thus adding some 8,000,000 voters (2,000,000 men and 6,000,000 women) to the Register, which in future is to be revised half-yearly.
A list of the Constituencies showing the Redistribution of Seats under the new Act is given in alphabetical order bu'fi^* "f on pages 506 to 510, and shows that the number of Members a#a|g of Parliament for the United Kingdom will in future be 707 in place of 670 as heretofore, their distribution among Counties,
vi Preface,
Boroughs, and Universities being set out under " Constitution of the House of Commons " on p. 1, while the essential provisions of the measure are indicated among " Explanations of Technical Parliamentary Expressions, etc.", pages xxxv to xlix. Of the yj additional Seats, 33 are apportioned to England and Wales, 2 to Scotland, and 2 to Ireland.
Some additional M.P.'s have during the past twelve months been
killed while on active service, the number now reaching 13; their
, names will be found recorded in the Obituary on page xxiv.
ar s There have also been further casualties reported among the
Official Staffs of both Houses of the Legislature, while
a number of Members have received Honours in connection with the war.
Several new Ministerial Offices have been constituted during the past
year, and although the War Cabinet itself, owing to Sir Edward Carson's
recent resignation, now again only numbers 5, the size
. of the full Ministry has, under war conditions, swollen
to abnormal proportions, many of the Ministries also now
being provided with two Parliamentary Secretaries.
Reform of the House of Lords is again in the air, but at the moment of writing all eyes are turned towards the Convention sitting "s in Dublin and charged with the task of trying to find a
onven ion. sojutjon t0 t^e jrjsjj proDlem.
The return of Sinn Fein Members of Parliament for certain Irish
Constituencies adds a novel element to Parliamentary life,
l?ovc as none of these Members has yet taken the oath or his
Element. „, tt
seat in the House.
"Debrett's House of Commons and the Judicial Bench" is divided into two main sections : the first forms a complete Parlia- mentary Guide, with biographies of M.P.'s, all Pollings at Scope of the ]ast twQ Generai and an subsequent Bye-Elections, list * e °r " of Privy Councillors, abridged Peerage, and detailed Ex- planation of Technical Parliamentary Expressions, while the second portion is devoted to Judges of the High Court and of the County Courts, Recorders, Sheriffs, Sheriff-Substitutes, Metropolitan and Sti- pendiary Magistrates, Judges of the Dominions and Colonies, etc., etc.

CAMPING OUTFITS
Extract from Truth, October 3rd, 1917.
" In order to answer a recent enquiry from the front, I obtained particulars of some ingenious devices for miti- gating minor discomforts of camp life on active service, especially those of cold and wet weather ; for example a practical weather-proof tent that can be folded into a parcel small enough to go into an overcoat pocket ; a waterproof groundsheet weighing less than i lb., and a capital sleeping bag which weighs no more than ij lb. These are among many useful articles supplied by the Lightweight Tent Co., 6i, High Holborn, London, W.C.i, and I think my Service readers may be glad to know of them."

The acceptor of any office :ed before that year must vacate his ■ad submit himself to re-election : l»ut by the Representation of the People Act, 1867, and some Amending Acts, holders of the principal offices of State are re- lieved from the obligation to submit them- selves to re-election, upon a transfer from one office to another ; the Law Offio on transfer do not vacate. The legislation on the subject is tangled and obscure, but the result, broadly speaking, is that holders of the higher political offices vacate their on appointment, except in <. •t-r. but may be re elected ; that holders of minor political offices, who are 1 pointed directly by the Crown, e.g. Under- of State, do not vacate their on appointment ; and that Judges, and members of the permanent Civil Service are alined for a seat in Parliament.

reading. After being read a second time the bill, except in the case of a bill im- posing taxes, or a consolidated fund or appropriation bill, stands committed to one of the four Standing Committees, unless the House otherwise order. Bills so excepted go to a committee of the whole House. When the details of the bill have been considered in Committee, and the bill has been debated clause by clause, the chair- man of the committee reports it to the House. This he does by stating to the Speaker that " the committee has gone through the bill," and has either "made amendments thereunto " or " directed him to report the same without amendment." If no amendment has been made, the bill is ordered to be read a third time either forthwith or on a future day ; but if the committee have altered it the bill is ordered to be considered as amended. If the amend- ments are considerable, it is customary to reprint the bill. On the consideration of a bill as amended, amendments may be made or new clauses (of which notice has been given) may be added, such as could have been proposed in Committee. A bill may also be committed to a Select Committee after second reading, but must in that case, after it has passed the Select Committee, be recommitted to a Committee of the whole House On the third reading the judgment of the House is expressed upon the entire bill, and only verbal amendments can at thi.^ stage be made. During the progress of the bill the House may divide on the following questions : ist, on the motion for leave of introduction (unless the Bill is presented under the 1002 rule) ; 2nd, on the second reading ; 3rd, on a motion to commit the bill to a Committee other than a Standing Committee, that the bill be recommitted ; 4th, that it be read a third time. These are exclusive of the divisions that may be taken on amendments proposed to be made to the bill in committee, or on its consideration as amended. After the passing of a bill, the Clerk of the House takes it to the bar of the House of Lords, and hands it to the Clerk of Parliaments, signed and endorsed in Norman French, with a request for con- currence. In the Upper House it passes through similar forms to those of the Com- mons. If the Lords agree with the Com- mons in the principle of a measure, but differ on matters of detail, the bill is returned to the Commons, bearing the amendments the Lords propose : these are considered by the Lower House, and if disagreed to, the bill is returned back to the Lords with a mes- sage assigning reasons for the disagreement. A Public Bill, other than a Money Bill, as defined by the Parliament Act, 191 1 (see Money Bill), having been passed by the House of Commons in three successive sessions, and having been sent up to the House of Lords one month before the end of the session, if rejected by the House of Lords in each of those sessions, can then be presented direct to His Majesty for the Royal Assent, provided that two years have elapsed between the date of second reading in the first session of the Bill in the House of Commons, and the date at which it passes there in the third session. A Bill is considered rejected by the House of Lords unless it is passed by that chamber, either without amendment or only with ' amendments agreed to by both Houses. Differences between the Houses were for-
merly settled by a conference, but this practice has now become obsolete. Acts of amnesty are read only once in each House. Bills that have passed both Houses remain with the Lords, except those of supply, which are sent back to the Commons, to be by the Speaker presented at the bar of the Lords for the Royal assent.
Board of Agriculture and
FISHERIES, Thi: President ok. Is head of the Government Department controlling matters dealing with lands, animals, rivers, and the sea, as well as the Ordnance Survey. This department, founded in 1889 as to agriculture, was extended to cover fisheries in 1903.
Board of Education, President
of. Has control of this Government De- partment of Education for England and Wales, and supervises the distribution of the Government grants towards elementary, secondary, technical. University, and all other forms of public education ; the de- partment has a large inspection and exami- 1 nation staff.
' Board of Trade, The. Considers all
matters especially relating to trade and commercial relations. It consists of a Presi- dent and several high officers of State, though it is practically managed by a Presi- dent and Parliamentary Secretary. It has the general superintendence of all matters relating to merchant ships and seamen, and exercises a supervision over railways, har- bours, electric lighting, the administration of the Law of Bankruptcy, the registration of Joint Stock Companies, etc., while it also exercises financial control over the principal lighthouse authorities. It collects and pub- lishes statistics of the revenue, trade, com- merce, wealth, population, etc. , of the United Kingdom and its dependencies, as well as of foreign countries.
Bribery. Both the giver and the
receiver of a bribe can be put into the wit- ness-box and be compelled to answer any questions, however they might criminate themselves. The giver must say to whom he gave, and what he gave, and where he procured the cash. The receiver must say what he received, and from whom he received it. Any person who gives or receives a bribe is disfranchised for life, and his name is to be printed at the foot of every succeeding re- gister of voters for that place in a distinct list, headed " disqualified for bribery, treat- ing, or undue influence." A candidate personally guilty of bribery is incompetent to sit in a Parliament for seven years. He is liable to a penalty of 100/. to any person who will sue lor it. He is liable to an in- dictment for misdemeanour, and to be pun- ished with fine and imprisonment. He is incompetent to vote at any Parliamentary or municipal election ; he cannot hold any municipal or judicial office ; and, if a magis- trate, is to be removed from the commission of the peace. The offences of "bribery," "treating," and "undue and corrupt in- fluence" are defined by statute law, especially by the Corrupt, etc. , Practices Prevention Act. 1883. The maximum scale of expenditure during an election now is in the case of a County "jd. for each elector on the Register, and sd. in the case of a Borough (with modifi- cation for joint candidates). Expenditure above this scale is an illegal practice, punish-

In it he mentions what taxes it is proposed to re- peal, to reduce, or augment, and what new ones are to be imposed. In his speech on this occasion the Chancellor reviews the financial condition of the country, comparing the income and expenditure of the previous year with those of preceding years, justifying the changes that are proposed to be made, and estimating their probable effects.

The appointment of the Clerks in the service of the House, other than Clerks at the table, is vested in this officer.
Clerk of the Parliaments occu-
Eies an analogous position in the House of ,ords to the Clerk of the House of Commons.
Closure of the Debate can, by
Standing Order, be obtained upon the motion of any Member, unless the Speaker or the Chairman of Committees withholds hisassent.
Colonies, Secretary of State for

The House of Commons has the power to repress any aggression com- mitted upon its privileges, and it can order into custody any person so offending. Such imprisonment, however, expires at the end of the session.
Committee of Public Accounts,
The. Examines the accounts showing the appropriation of sums granted annually by Parliament to meet the public expenditure. It consists of not less than eleven members (the more usual number being fifteen), who are nominated at the commencement of each session.
Committee on Public Petitions,
Th e. Reports throughout the session a classi- fied list of the petitions presented to the House, and scrutinises them for the purpose of seeing whether or not they are in order.
I '< immittees, Standing. There are
four of these, consisting of not less than 60 nor more than 80 members, appointed by the House of Commons pursuant to Stand- ing Order, to which all bills stand com- mitted after second reading, unless the House otherwise order, except Bills im- posing taxes, or consolidated fund or ap- propriation or provisional order Bills.
Committees. Those of the whole
House are generally for the purpose of con- sidering resolutions, or the details of a bill, or for financial purposes, such as those for "Supply" or "Ways and Means." Select Committees are for specific purposes, and the numbers composing them, as a rule, consist of fifteen members. Presence of strangers is generally permitted by Commons Committees while witnesses are under examination, but not while the Committee deliberates. Mem- bers are entitled to be present throughout Committee sittings, unless the House other- wise order, or unless it be a Secret Com- mittee. The consideration of private bills is referred to Committees consisting of four members. Under Standing Order, Select Committees can sit during the sitting of the House, except while the House is at prayers. When the whole House goes into Committee, the Speaker vacates the chair, the mace is placed under the table, and the Chairman of Ways and Means, or in his absence the Deputy Chairman or another member, is called on to preside.
Conference, a. b the meeting of a
delegated number of Peers and of members of the Commons' House to communicate a written message upon matters in which it is desirable that the two Houses should co- operate. At a " free conference " the subject of the written message may be taken into debate. Conferences are not now often resorted to, having been practically super- seded by informal negotiations between lead- ing members of the two Houses.
Controverted Elections. The trial
of election petitions is regulated by a sta- tute which transfers the entire jurisdiction to the Courts of Law. A petition complain- ing of an undue election must be presented within 21 days after the return of the writ, unless it questions the return on an allegation of corrupt practices, etc.. in which case it may be presented at any time within 28 days atter the day of payment. Thus the practice of promising at the election and paying after the time had elapsed for the presentation of a petition is met by permission being given to petition between 28 days after the payment of the bribe, whensoever made. At the time of presentation of a petition, or within three days after, security for ^1,000 is to be given by those who present it for payment of all costs, charges, and expenses that may become payable by the petition. Count-out. If a member takes notice
of the number present, the Speaker counts the House, and if forty members be not pre- sent, the Speaker adjourns the House without question put, till next sitting-day. Under the existing Standing Orders of the House cannot be counted out between 8.15 and 9.15 o'clock p.m. [See No House.]
Courts of Revision. [See Registra- tion of Voters and Revising Barrister.]
Demise of the Crown. Since the
Reform Act of 1867 the Demise of the Crown does not necessitate a Dissolution, but if at the time of the Sovereign's death Parliament happens to be adjourned or prorogued it must meet immediately. If, however, there is no Parliament in existence at the moment, the old Parliament again meets, and may serve for six months. Since 1901 the holding of any office under the Crown, whether within or without the Hritish Dominions, is not affected by the Demise of the Crown.
Deputy Chairman, The. Presides
in the absence of the Chairman of Ways and Means, when the House is in Com- mittee, and may act as temporary Deputy Speaker in the absence of both the Speaker and the Chairman of Ways and Means.
Deputy Speaker. [See Chairman

-ion, A. Is the mode of taking
the votes of each House of Parliament. In the Commons, if the opinion of the Speaker or Chairman as to (he decision of a question is challenged, he directs that the lobbies be cleared. After two minutes he puts the question again, and, if his opinion is still challenged, he nominates tellers, and directs the "ayes" and the "noes" to go into the right and left lobbies. Whilst meml • 1 through the lobbies, clerks record the names of those present and the tellers count the numbers. The tellers then return to the e, and their report of the numbers is finally announced from the Chair.

First Lord of the Treasury. Is
Chief of the Commissioners appointed to execute the office of Lord High Treasurer, but as such takes no great part in the management of the Treasury. He has several Civil Service appointments in his gift, and nominates to Crown livings and Civil Li*t pensions. This is the position usually, though not always, taken by the Prime Minister or the Leader of the House of Commons.
Foreign Affairs, Secretary of
State for. Has the exclusive charge of the interests of the British Empire and British subjects in foreign countries. He negotiates all treaties, leagues, and alliances with foreign states, either directly with the Foreign Minister at this Court, or through the British Ambassador abroad ; and is the official organ and responsible adviser to the Crown in all communications between his Government and foreign powers. Franchise. In law, is defined as
"a Royal privilege, or a branch of the Sovereign's prerogative subsisting in the hands of a subject." As applied to Parlia- ment the term means the right to vote at an election for a member of Parliament. Under the Representation of the People Act (1918) the franchise extends to all men of full age (not subject to legal incapacity), and having the requisite residential or business premises qualification (six months) ; women on attain- ing the age of thirty and being entitled to be registered as Local Government Electors or whose husbands are so entitled ; and those employed on war service on attaining the age of nineteen {i.e. naval and military em- ployment, Red Cross work, etc., merchant seamen, pilots, and fishermen. University Franchise demands for men in England and Wales receipt of a degree (not honorary), while women must have fulfilled certain conditions.
Freemen. Ave persons who have been admitted to the freedom of a corporate town, or of any other corporate body.
Friday Sittings. The House meets
every Friday (up to 1902 it used to be Wednesday) at twelve o'clock. Friday until Whitsuntide is set apart for the bills brought in by private members, and the House, unless previously adjourned, continues to sit until the business of the day is disposed of, or until 5.30 p.m. (no opposed business being taken after five). On the disposal of business, or at 5.30, the Speaker adjourns the House without putting any question, and the business under discussion, or undisposed of, stands among the orders of the day for the next sitting of the House.
General Election. [See Election
of Members.]
Government Business. Unless the
House otherwise direct, Government busi- ness has precedence at every sitting except after 8.15 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and at the sitting on Friday; after 8.15 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday notices of motion and public bills, other than Govern- ment bills, have precedence of Government business ; after Easter, Government business has precedence during the whole of the Tuesday sittings ; after Whitsuntide, Govern- ment business has precedence at all sittings,
except on the third and fourth Fridays after Whit Sunday.
Government Orders, are the bills
brought in by the Government and other Government business appointed by the House, which are entitled to be placed at the head of the list at sittings when Government business has precedence.
Hempholme. [See Chiltern Hun- dreds.] Home Department, Secretary of
State for. The duties and responsibilities of this high officer comprehend the main- tenance of the internal peace of the United Kingdom, the security of the laws, ami the general supervision of matters relating to the administration of criminal justice.
House of Commons. According to
the theory of the English constitution, the House of Commons represents the whole population, and it is unconstitutional to sup- pose that members are delegates of any special community. Each member is held to represent the interests of the nation. The proceedings of the Commons are regulated by standing orders, which are the per- manent bye-laws of the House, by sessional orders renewed annually, and by the custom of Parliament, as embodied in rules and regu- lations established by usage, or laid down in the journals. The following is an outline of parliamentary practice : — A motion for the grant of public money may not be presently entered upon, but must be put to the vote on a future day in a Committee of the whole House, having received the previous recom- mendation of the Crown. Notice, as a rule, must be given of every motion, and, except in committee, it must be seconded. There must never be more than one question before the House at the same time. However many amendments may be proposed upon amotion, each one is separately disposed of. If there be a majority for any words standing part of a question to be put to the House, then a vote is taken on the question with these words in it. In case of the rejection of every amendment, then the original proposal, what- ever it may be, motion or bill, is put to the vote, stripped of all the counter proposals which the debate has called forth. No mem- ber can thus be driven to vote for what he does not approve ; for after having voted in favor of such amendments as he may propose to the original question, he can vote against it in the end. No motion or bill may be offered upon which a judgment has been expressed during the current session ; a resolution may, however, be rescinded, or an order of the House discharged. A bill that has passed both Houses contains all the sentences and words composing the Act of Parliament to which the Royal Assent is given. When a member speaks, it must be to some question before the House, or to introduce a question. The mover of a substantive motion is permitted a reply, and those who have spoken to the original question may speak again when an amend- ment or a new question, such as the adjourn- ment of the debate has been proposed : but otherwise no one is entitled to more than one opportunity of speaking on a question, except when the House is in Com- mittee. No member may call another by his name ; if it is desired to call personal atten- tion to him, he must be referred to by his con-

of the Throne, next to the Earl Marshal . The old State Chair occupied by the Sovereign on these occasions was designed l>y Augustus
Welby Pugin, the eminent architect, who was employed in the designing, erection, and decoration of the Houses of Parliament ; it has been in the House of Lords since the completion of that Chamber, and was used by Queen Victoria when she opened or prorogued Parliament in person. The State Chair provided for the Queen Consort is an exact replica of the old, but an inch and a half lower. The frame is mahogany elaborately carved, but the wood is nowhere visible, being entirely covered with a rich gilding of English leaf-gold, the legs resting upon four lions couchant. The back is gabled and of lofty pitch, with moulded columns on each side, surmounted by a lion and a unicorn holding scrolls, while in the centre, higher still, is a representation of the Imperial Crown. In the middle of the back are the quarterings of the Royal Arms of England, embroidered with gold-coloured silk on crimson velvet, with a surrounding border studded with pieces of rock crystal. The cushion to the seat is also of crimson velvet richly embroidered with the white Tudor rose and leafage. There is also a gilded footstool to match, which is oblong in shape, the top being covered with velvet em- broidered in gold, the pattern being sprays of roses with a border of fleur-de-lis.

Parliament Act. The main pro- visions of the Parliament Act 191 1 (1 & 2 George V. c 13) are : (1) If the Lords with- hold their assent to a money bill for more than one month after the bill has reached them, the bill may be presented for the King's assent, and, on that assent being given, will become law without the consent of the Lords. The Act gives a definition of a "money bill," and it is for the Speaker of the House of Commons to certify that a bill falls within the definition. Before giving his certificate he is to consult two Members of the House of Commons for that purpose. I (2) If a bill other than a money bill is passed by the Commons in three successive Sessions, whether of the same Parliament or not, it may, on a third rejection by the Lords, be presented for the King's assent, and, on that assent being given, will become law. But two years must elapse between the date of the second reading in the first of those Sessions and the date at which the bill parses the Commons a third time. Pro- vision is made against the identity of a bill being destroyed by the introduction of amendments made necessary by lapse of time or agreed to by both Houses. (3) Five years was substituted for seven years as the maximum duration of a Parliament. [This period has been specially extended on several occasions during the War.
