In the .Commons, Mr Bellairs asked whether Mr Graham was aware the Soviet’s decision to increase exportable supplies of grain in 1931 from ten to twenty-five per cent., and whnfc measures the Government were taking to prevent dumping in Britain. Mr Gillett replied that Mr Gr'nhnm was aware the Soviet intended to increase the exports and was referred to in Mr Graham’s answer in the Commons on 3rd November. Mr Locker Lanipsou :—Ls Mr Graham aware that the increased exports are due to the starvation of Russians? Mr Gillett:—No. Mr Locker Lampson :—Then he ought to be wise. Is he aware the statement just made was untrue? Cries of “Withdraw.” . Mr Locker Lampson asked for an opportunity to prove the statement was true. Midst further cries of “W.ithdraw” the Speaker called on the next question. Sir P. Sasson gave notice of motion of the adjournment on England’s nonparticipation in the Schneider Cup The Speaker refused to accept it. The House of Commons passed the third reading of the Education bill tiy 256 to 238, most Liberals abstaining from voting owing to the success of the Scuter’s Amendment, which as Renciman said free church supporters co nsi de r ret: rug rare.
