LONDON, May 6 (outer). The next two sittings of the House of Commons, and the next sitting of the House of Lords will be occupied by consideration of a Government motion ap proving the sending of help to Greece, and declaring that Im- perial operations in the Middle East and other theatres will be pursued by the Government with the utmost vigour.

new Party men (who want a
