BRITISH POLITICS.
IN THE COMMONS. A SNAP DIVISION. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this dav at- noon.) LONDON, March 31. In the Commons taking advantage of the non-return of many Labour members from distant constituencies, the Opposition by a snap vote of 183 to 1.79 defeated a Government motion to suspend the eleven o’clock rule. There were instant cries of “Resign . ’ ’ The Speaker ruled out Air Neville Chamberlain’s motion for an adjournment to enable the Government to consider the position. . Air AlacDonald laughingly twitted Mr Chamberlain over his anxiety. It merely meant that the House would not sit after eleven.
Air Chamberlain moved to adjourn the debate, but the motion was defeated by 185 to 175, amid Ministerial cheers. Business then proceeded.
Air ALaeDonald informed Air Southby that the Government adhered to their determination to arrive at a Five Power naval agreement, and not between two or three of them.
