(Rec. April 11, 2 p.m.) LONDON, April 10
Tn the Commons, the Government’s majority fell to the lowest since it attained office, on a “die-hard” amendment seeking to exclude four members of the Ministry from the Commoner members of the joint committee on India.
Mr. Crookshank, Mr. Churchill and
General Page-Croft and their supporters claimed that the Ministerial policy would be too strongly represented on the committee, and would prevent impartiality. The amendment was defeated by 209 to 118, the minority including 80 Conservatives.
In response to a. special “die-hard whip,” a further series of “die-hard” amendments were rejected and the appointment of the committeemen was carried without division.
