LABOUR STILL PREDOMINANT Consolidation Of General Election Successes

Tactical Gains

In Provinces

London, Nov: 2.

Labour's victory has been tactical rather than strategic, for while making a net gain of 140 seats, it has gained control of only nine more local authorities, and still controls only about one-third of the total of local authorities throughout the country.
