The Speaker, the Chairman of Committees in the Lords (the
fact that the Lord Chancellor is not selected by the Lords but imposed upon them from outside makes him a repre- sentative of the Government, not of the Lords' House), and the senior Judge of the Court of Appeal, who is not a Member of the House of Lords, would, we should think, make a perfectly good tribunal for interpreting a definition of "tacking " and deciding whether alleged Money Bills are truly Money Bills,—that is, meant to provide money, and not meant to produce some ulterior political result which has in reality nothing to do with providing money for the State. If such a tribunal could be obtained, and also a compromise arranged under which disputes between the two Houses could be settled either by a Referendum, or by that much less effective and more clumsy form of Referendum, an ad hoc Dissolution, the Constitutional issues might be on a fair way to solution.
