written upon the records of Parliament a profound political truth,
which will not, I think, soon be challenged, and which, I believe,
will never be overthrown.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS

HOUSE OF COMMONS, _June 29, 1907_

On June 24, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman had moved:

"That, in order to give effect to the will of the people
as expressed by their elected representatives, it is
necessary that the power of the other House to alter or
reject Bills passed by this House should be so restricted
by law as to secure that within the limits of a single
Parliament the final decision of the Commons shall
prevail."

This was carried after three days' debate by 315 to 100.
