WITHDRAWAL FROM EGYPT
Debate In House Of Commons
EDEN AND CHURCHILL ATTACK PLAN
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, May 8. Strong criticism of Britain’s decision to withdraw her armed forces from Egypt was expressed in the House of Commoes by Mr Churchill and Mr Eden. Crave misgivings were felt, Mr Eden said, about the effect of the withdrawal on the future defence of the Suez Canal. Mr Herbert Morrison, replying for the Government, said that if Britain had refused to accept “the principle of withdrawal,’’ there would almost certainly have been disturbances, pnting and, possibly, revolution.
