PALESTINE VOTE
ABSENCE OF MINISTERS. ASTONISHMENT IN POLITICAL. CIRCLES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, May 25. The “Daily Express” says that astonishment has been caused in political circles owing to the fact that neither Mr Hore Belisha, War Minister, nor Mr Elliot, Minister of Health, voted on the Government motion approving the proposals in the White Paper on Palestine. '
Though a three-line whip was sent out to both, the Ministers were absent at division time and had not even arranged a pairing. It is understood that the whips decided not to take “serious notice.”
