LLOYD GEORGE, WINSTON CHURCHILL TO TAKE PART IN THE DEBATE
Liberals Decide To Give Support: Conservatives Are Divided
LORD PERTH TO OPEN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ITALIAN FOREIGN MINISTER
London, February 22.
THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, on the issues raised by the resignation of Mr. Anthony Eden will be resumed this afternoon when a motion of censure on the Government will be maved by the Opposition leader, Mr. Clement Attlee.
The debate will be limited to a single day and a division will be taken at 11 o'clock tonight. It is expected that among the elder statesmen, Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Winston Churchill will take part.—(British Wireless). ›
THE GOVERNMENT, WHO DID NOT BEGIN yesterday well from the Parliamentary point of view, is now unlikely to be seriously embarrassed, says Renter's jobby correspondent. "
Government Liberals have decided to support the Government and Government Labourites are believed to be ready to do the same. Evidently the Conservatives are divided.
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT LORD HALIFAX #шll take over the Foreign Office only temporarily is believed to be due to the Commions' objection that the Foreign Secretary is a member of the House of Lords.
Mr. Chamberlain has not a wide choice, and it would not be a surprise if he took over the office bimself.
For Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs choices include Mr. B. S. Hudson. (Secretary for Overseas Trade) and Mr. E. A. Batler (Parliamentary Labour Secretary, formerly Under-Secretary for India).
It is improbable that any announcement on this matter will be made before the selection of a Foreira Secretary-=-=-(Reuter).
