SPEAKER DECIDES POINT PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE NO PROOF OF LOSS OF CONFIDENCE. (EXITEP PRHSB .ASSOCIATION.—CWXBIHT.) (AUSTRALIAN . NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received 12th April, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 11th April. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, Leader of th« Labour Party, in the House of Commons, asked for the Speaker's ruling on the contention that the proposal to go to Supply was the same motion on which the House gave a definite decision last night. The Speaker disagreed that the motion was a repetition, holding that th« word "now" m the motion "that the Speaker do now leave the Chair" makes the motion apply to that particular day and does not prevent a similar motion at a later day. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor, then mowd: "That the House,to-morrow resolves into Committee of Supply." He said that what had really happened was that the Government waa caught napping. Last night's decision was no proof that the Government had lost the confidence of the House.
