MOSLEY'S RELEASE
PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY UNEXPECTED SUPPORT FOR MR MORRISON (,Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. "25. ' The Parliamentary Labour Party, at. a crowded private meeting in the House of Commons to-day, discussed the release of Sir Oswald Mosley, and defeated a resolution deprecating his release by a majority of 10 votes. This is somewhat of a triumph for Mr Herbert Morrison, says the Press Association's political correspondent. The party, after a lively discussion, passed a resolution: " The party appreciates the widespread concern created by the release of Sir Oswald Mosley, concern which can be allayed only by a full debate in Parliament, but it is of the opinion that the administration of Regulation 188, which must necessarily he of a judicial character, should be kept free from party political controversy." The meeting made it clear that the motion in no way limited the right of members to express individual views during the forthcoming debate. The ' Daily Express ' reports that 10 Conservative members tabled a motion demanding the reconsideration of Regulation 188. and calling for those at present detained under the regulation to be brought to trial. The executive of the Mineworkers' Federation at a meeting in London unanimously passed a resolution protesting r. gainst the release of Mosley and requesting that he be reinterned. The Rplfast branch of the National Union of Railwaymen passed a resolution asking the Executive Committee to make immediate representations to the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers' Union and other unions concerned with transport, with a view to calling a general strike of all transport workers until Mosley is reimprisoned.
