William Lyon Mackenzie King (Prime Minister; Secretary of State for External Affairs; President of the Privy Council)
Liberal
Mr. MACKENZIE KING:
My hon. friend is an old parliamentarian; I should think he may have referred to the rule even before I did. He knows very well that when a matter is referred to and is being considered by the committee, that precludes discussion on it by the house until the committee has reported.
Motion stands.
