He attacked the Cabinet's decision to release Arch- bishop Makarios from

was the biggest walkout on a Conservative Cabinet since Anthony Eden quit Neville Chamberlain over appeasement in 1938. The potential crisis broke while MPs were away for the weekend and there was no authoritative in- dication how many might abstain on the possible Bermuda vote tomorrow night.

Abstention on such an im- portant vote would be a difficult decision for any member of the Conserva-"; tive

Party. Politicians called it a potential "half- revolt" because the worst that might happen would be a number of absten, tions rather than hostile voten. 'There was no expectation whatsoever that enough MPs would balk party dla cipline to bring Mac- millan down.
