The long and anxious debate came to an end yesterday with an appeal by Mr. Stanley Baldwin for support, urging that an adverse vote would weaken the Church's authority.
The Measure was rejected by 266 votes to 220, a majority of 42, which compares with a vote of 238 against 205, or a majority of 33, when the Measure was rejected in December last. The opposers gained 28 votes and the supporters gained 15..
