HEATED PASSAGES
IN HOUSE OF LORDS THE COMMITTEE ON INDIA. LORD HALSBURY’S ATTACK. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received 12, 11.45 a.m.) LONDON, April 11. There were heated passages in tho House of Lords between Lord Halsbury and Lord Hailsham. Before the House approved the names of the House of Lords members of the joint committee on India Lord Halsbury declared that the view of the committeemen were known beforehand and that there was bound to be a Government majority. Lord Hailsham replied that Lord Halsbury’s attack was an insult to the Government and to the members of the committee. Nobody else believed for a moment that the Government would in any way trick the House. He added: “Lord Halsbury seems to have brought the .traditions of low-class attorneys into the atmosphere of the House of Lords.” Lord Halsbury: “I will not withdraw. The word ‘tricks’ has been adopted by the Government and not by me. It has deliberately chosen a committee on which the majority for its policy would be a certainty.” The Government motion was carried by 65 votes to 13.
