CIVIL LIST BILL
Labourites Move Amendment
London, May 27. Moving of the second reading to-day in the House of Commona of the Civil List Bill, which makes additional provision for members of the Royal Family, evoked an amendment by the Labour: Harry,
Mr. Arthur Greenwood, moved the rejection of the Bill on the grounds that "this House cannot assent to a Civil List Bill which merely accepts and continues the traditional conceplurs of state and ceremonial, instead of recog- nising that greater simplicity in the daily life of the Court is essen- tial in a modern democratic con- stitution such as the British Com- monwealth."
Mr. Greenwood went on to say that the Labour Party was not concerned with the question of Re- publicanism or Monarchy, or even
a matter of economy, but was ap- pealing for a simpler form of mo- narchy in England.
The Civil List Bill received, its second reading after Mr. 'Green- wood's amendment had been de- feated by 240 votes to 112.
GRADUAL SIMPLIFICATION Mr. Neville Chamberlain, reply- Ing to the debate, sald lie had re- ceived no representation desiring a great simplification of the momar- chial system, and he knew of no evidence to show that such a feel- ing existed in the Dominions.
"I don't think it would be right for us to ascribe opinions to the Dominions one way or the other" observed. Mr. Chamberlain, and then express the belief that the whole trend to-day; not only in the monarchy, but elsewhere, was "towards a greater simplification in manners and the breaking down of former barriers.
out Mr. Chamberlain pointed that the occasions on which Their personal Majesties could enjoy
#
contact with their subjects were far more numerous and informal to-day than ever before. He would prefer to leave to His Majesty's own inclination to bring about gradual simplification, rather than to hasten it Renter.
