The swearing in of Members of Parliament continued in both Houses of Parliament. In the House of Lords, during the attendance of the Commons, Mr J Jones, irritated by the procedure, caused a mild scene. Later, in the House of Commons, he complained to the Speaker of Lords’ “contemptuous treatment” of the House below. Mr Whitley undertook to look into the matter on receiving information in the proper way.

The death was announced of Dr Wace, the Dean of Canterbury.
