London, To-day.
It would be disastrous, pathetic and shameful for the Commons to write itself off as an effective fac- tor at this moment.

PARLIAMENT AND COLONIES
London, To-day.
In a statement on the proposal for a joint parliamentary com- mittee on colonial questions, the Prime Minister said the Gov- ernment appreciated the anxiety of members that an opportunity should be afforded to the House of keeping in closer touch with colonial problems.
The particular proposal for a parliamentary committee no doubt presented certain advantages but it raised issues of parliamentary procedure and constitutional prac tice of a far-reaching character which required very careful con- Bideration.
