SCENE IN HOUSE OP COMMONS.
THE SPEAKER DEFIED,
Received October 16, 10.46 a.m LONDON, October 15.
In the House of Commons, immediately after questions had been disposed of, Mr Victor Grayson, Socialist M.P, for the Collie Valley Division of Yorks, became greatly excited, lie moved the adjournment of the House in order to discuss the question of unemployment. The Speaker, however, declared that the Licensing Bill was the first business.
Mr Grayson said he refused to permit discussion of the Licensing Bill while people were starving in the streets, and also refused to obey the Speaker's ruling, either to sit down or stop speaking. Ultimately the Sergeant-st-Arms removed him.
Mr Grayson was, later, suspended for the rest of the sitting.
