Manchester, Jan. 23.

The Government's own motion calling for support for its resolve to maintain "by every effective means the internal and external value of the pound" was then formally agreed to without a vote.

The debate was inspired by the recent resignations of Mr Peter Thomtytroft, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and two of his Treasury ministers, in protest at Government pinns to Increase spending next year.

"But," he declared. “Britain over the past 12 years has slithered from one crisis to another through trying to do 100 much."

FUCHS STILL DELAYED AT

SOUTH POLE

Wellington, Jan. 24.

A false alarm about Dr Vivian Fuchs, and his Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic party leaving the Polo was corrected at midday hore today by another message from Douglas McKenzie, official correspondent of the Ross Sea Committee, at Scott Base.

After making a further radio check, McKenzie re- ported that up to 11 a.m. no word had been sent out from the Pole that the Fuchs party had actually begun their 1,200-mile trek to McMurdo Sound.

Confirmation

He was due to leave this morning, but confirmation

of the departure is still awaited.

An earlier report from Scott Base said that Dr Fuchs and his team of 11 scientist explorers had left the American station at the South Pole on Thurs- day night after being delayed for some hours by a blizzard.

The party had also had trouble with a snowcat carry- ing selsmic gear. It had developed a mechanical fault but this was expected to be repaired. The Ross Sea Committee controls the New Zealand
