PARLIAMENT AND PUBLIC OPINION OF ONE MIND
London, To-day. ONE THING WAS CERTAIN as a result of the Commons debate. there was bound to be reconstruction of --the Cabinet with the re-organisation of the func-- tions of members in wartime, said Mr Cyril Lakin, As- sistant Editor of the "Sunday Times," in a broadcast talk yesterday.
No one underestimated the shock the small majority vote gave the Government, and although some newspapers, in their analysis of the voting figures, presented a more favourable picture than other papers, there was no doubt that Parliament, Press and Public Opinion were at one in desiring a broadening of the basis of the Cabinet.
During the debate, the personal issue of Mr. Chamberlain became stronger.
Mr. Lakin felt that if Mr. Chamber- lain found, as a result of his talks, he could not get a sufficiently broad gov- ernment, he would be ready to make way for some-one else.
