It is understood that the declaration makes the position clear that while the party is willing to give general support to the Government in its broad programme for dealing with urgent problems, there is no question of formal alliance or pact which would ensure that the Government would remain in office for a fixed term of years. In view of the decision of the meeting, Sir Archibald Sinclair acceded to the general request to reconsider his derision to resign the: office of Chief Whip, to which ho was re-elected.
