LONDON, January 29.
In the House of Commons Mr. George Lansbury, Leader of the Opposition, moving to report progress, said that he hoped that all sections of the Labour Party would join and tell the Government that they would not tolerate regulations entailing the wholesale starvation of men, women, and children. Mr. Baldwin said that the Government intended, as far as possible, to adjust unfair hardships and injustices. Sir Herbert Samuel (L.) said that the Liberals must join in the protests against the regulations, though they disapproved of the recent scene. Mr. Lansbury's motion was rejected by 243 votes to 73. Mr. Oliver Stanley, Minister of Labour, said that instructions had already been issued to administer the regulations - fairly without causing hardship. The'supplementary vote was carried.
