Churchill Tables No Confidence Motion
(11.30 a.m.) LONDON. Mar. 7. Mr Churchill has tabled the official Opposition amendment to the Government motion on economic policy in the House of Commons. This amounts, says Reuter’s diplomatic correspondent, to a motion of no confidence in the Government.
The' Government's motion begins: “That this House welcomes the lay-' ing before Parliament of a survey of the nation’s requirements and resources for 1947."
The Opposition amendment then adds these words: “And, while recognising the ever-increasing gravity of the economic crisis and willing to give its support to any practical measures to meet it, regrets that the full facts of the situation have for so long been withheld from the country; and has no confidence in a Government whose actions hitherto have served only to aggravate national difficulties and whose proposals for the future are either inadequate or injurious.” Mr Churchill moves the amendment on March 12.
