Mr. Aubrey Herbert (Univer sity College) recalled an occasion in 1908 when a similar motion was discussed at a time when Mr. Churchill was a member, of the Ministry. Lord Birkenhead (then Mr. F. F. Smith) said the Liberal party would be in a minor- ity even in Hell, and Mr. Chur- chill replied that there was at least one constituency in which the Conservatives were sure of a majority. (Laughter).
"I am amazed by the gentleness of my reception," Mr. Churchill remarked in his reply. The first claim of the Government (he con- tinued), was that it had given a period of stability to the coun- try. They had passed a chaotic period during which in two years there were three separate Ad- ministrations. Such a period was deeply injurious to the inter- ests of the country.
The country got rather tired of this theory of three-party system --a catch-as-catch-can position- with no party possessing a major- ity and each hoping to exist sim- ply on a Parliamentary bargain.
