TALKED OUT
AVOIDANCE OF DIVISION WELCOMED
LONDON. 30th January

When Mr Snowden finished with insistence that a vote in favour of the motion meant a vote- in favour of a tax on the people's food half a dozen Conservatives jumped up. One said ho wanted to "nail that lie." Tin's caused an outburst from Labourites. Meanwhile the moment passed when the debate must close. A Liberal moved (lie closure, but the Speaker did not hear him and amid din called for the next motion. Mr Baldwin quitted the House befor the debate. Lord Beaverbrook listened in the gallery.
