In March 1901 a Tory member, Lord Hugh Cecil, used in the sacred precincts language hardly heard since the days of Charles I. " We hear often, " he said, " of the infringements of the rights of private members, and it cannot be denied that a transfer of political power from the House of Commons to the Cabinet is going on. ... Why is it that nobody cares, outside these walls, about the rights of private members ? Because there is a deep-seated feeling that the House is an institution which has c...eased to have much authority or much repute, and that when a better institution, repre- sented by the Cabinet, encroaches upon the rights of a worse one, it is a matter of small concern to the country. " The theoretical and practical deduction from this doctrine is that the House of Commons is to become a mere body for registering the decrees of a secret committee largely consisting of men in the House of Lords who never come near it. How long in that case will the House of Commons continue to attract the services of able men ?
