All of which ,z ■ •t provides a new crisis for Attlee and the Laborites. hat makes this all more significant ia the fact that the protest comes from the Chairaan of the po erful Trades Union group in Parlia ■ ent.

All this provided rather an eabarraaain1 scene in the Co ■ mons today.

Further, that even if his attitude on thia decree brought the goYern ■ ent down, it would be ax ■ better that the Labor government should fall than · that personal freedoa and the dignity of the individual should per:ia h in the British Isles.
