MAJORITY FALLS
VOTE IN THE COMMONS. A “DIE HARD” AMENDMENT. (Received 11, 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, April 10. In the House of 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 House of Commons members’ joint committee on India. Messrs. Crookshank, Churchhill, 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 votes to 118, the minority included 80 Conservatives in response to a special “diehard whip.” A further series of diehard amendments were rejected and the appointment of the committeemen was carried without division.
