BRITISH POLITICS
A MOTION CARRIED. AFTER A HEATED DEBATE. Received This Morning, 12.2 Oo'clock LONDON, February 17. The Hon. H. H. Asquith, in moving to appropriate private members' 'time, said that the special circumstances of the Coronation must entail the suspension of Parliamentary activity. He emphasised the necessity of passing the Parliament Bill, for which they had obtained an adequate and enthusiastic majority. (Oheers.) The Bill would go to the Lords in May, giving a full opportunity for discussion before the Coronation.
Mr Austen Chamberlain charged the Government with a disregard of the loyal feelings of the nation and the comfort of the Crown, in deliberately aiming at a crisis just before the Coronation.
After a long debate the motion was carried,by 196.votes to 118.
