The Parliament Bill is introduced in the House of Commons

The bill was a response to the constitutional crisis following the introduction of Lloyd George’s radical 1909 budget, which was rejected by the Conservative dominated Lords, overturning the convention that the Lords did not interfere with money bills. The crisis was finally resolved when the Parliament Act received Royal Assent in August 1911 and the primacy of the Commons over the House of Lords was finally established.
