IMPORTANT VOTES IN HOUSE OF COMMONS MAY DEFEAT GOVERNMENT
LONDON, Nov. 6 (Recd. 6pm) Britain’s Labour Government and the Conservative Opposition today begin a series of challenges and votes in the House of Commons which the Tories hope will bring down the Government and force a general election. The Conservatives and Liberals are expected to unite and call for at least three confidence votes to-, day and tomorrow. They could wipe out the Government’s seven majority if they muster a full vote as the Government ranks have been dangerously thinned through sickness and absenteeism. Two points of the Conservative and Liberal attack will be the rate of house building and the cost of living. The Government’s plan to introduce a Bill making wartime controls over the nation’s economy permanent is expected to produce a “fight to a finish.”— Reuter.
