A meeting of (lie Liberal Party, Air Lloyd George presiding, unanimously' decided that owing to file situation of tile Naval Conference it would not b P in the national interest to create a crisis in the House of Commons

This removes the danger of the defeat, of the Government on Thursday on the minimum coal prices amendment to the Bill.
