“REVOLT” IN BRITAIN
A LORD’S ' ALLEGATION. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON. November 9. During the committee stage when the House of Lords was considering the Incitement to Disaffection Bill, Lord Allen refused to say whether to his knowledge, from a source which he had no reason to doubt, that there was some kind of movement afoot in Britain to seize the British Broadcasting Corporation, and to bring about a coup d’etat similar to the one that was prepared in Vienna when Doctor Dollfuss was assassinated. Interviewed by the “Daily Herald, Lord Allenby refused io say whether this plan came from the Right, or from the Left, but he said that it was seriously discussed by one of the Parties which believed in unconstitutional action. He did not think that the plans had progressed beyond the contemplation stage. The Lords spent nearly twelve hours discussing the Incitement to Disaffection Bill. Numerous divisions were held on Socialists’ amendments, all of which were defeated.
