(British Official, Wireless).
RUGBY, February 5
The Coal Mines Bill was considered by tlie House of Commons last night and it was announced that the Government had decided to adopt the Liberals’ proposal to postpone Part One of tlie Bill, which includes the proposed marketing scheme. Mr S. Baldwin (Conservative Leader) protested against the Government’s action in not affording an opportunity for longer notice of the proposed change resulting from the arrangement between the Government and the Liberal Party.
Mr Lloyd George said the proposal was a logical one. and it was in < accordance with tradition to discuss first supply and then ways and means.
The motion to postpone consideration of Part One of the Bill was carried by 276 votes to 131.
