Parliament has been exciting. Not that the debates last week on defence or conscrip­ tion greatly aroused us. But two short speeches did. One by the Miniver of Supply who told us that the Socialist Government will start to nationalise the iron and steel industry oq almost the first day it can by law. The other by Mr. Isqacs, Minister of Labour, who told us about the Communist conspiracy to try to stop arms being shipped to our men fighting in Korea.
