LONDON, July 10. t-u inis^er iaw>s acceptance of the Liberal proposal relative to the payment of insurance benefits to persons in trade disputes was responsible for a back-bench Labour revolt against the front bench in the House of Commons, bringing the debate on the Unemployment Insurance Bill to an abrupt termination. The Labour back benches. shouted angrily, and Mr Neil Mac Lean declared that the front bench was always tumbling head over heels in order to accept Liberal and Conservative proposals while it ignored its own people. Ministers ought to join those parties. Finally, amid ironical Opposition laugther, Mr Clynes proposed an adjoimnnent of the debate, intimating that the Government would consider the matter.—Reuter.
