measures and rejecting a fourth. One measure, on abor­ tion, was non-party without any qualification at all, in the sense that MPs from each and all political parties could be found in either lobby. The third measure passed was straightforward criticism by the Conservative Opposition of the Government’s handling of the motor industry. The

fourth measure, which was r e je c te d , was properly speaking “private business” but, as I will seek to show, things, at least in the House of Commons, are not always quite what they appear to bp on the surface.

sed, the Dock Work Regula­ tion Bill, is in my view a totally pernicious piece of legislation and was carried in the face of as much opposition as could be mustered. The Bill is bad, but the occasion also demonstrated the mathema­ tics of opposition in the pre­ sent Parliament in a way that no one could misunderstand. Fe\v people in Britain I


The second measure pas­


upon abortion wished to see the Committee wound up. Those, like myself, who take the view that on this subject there really cannot be enough information available on which to base amending legis­ lation, obviously wish the Commons to continue its work.


It is a subject on which


many of my constituents have written and talked to me, and the overwhelming majority obviously wished the Commit­ tee to continue. Happily the House of Commons also reflected the same opinion by an overwhelming majority of


141. Now to turn to a far less


would think can be satisfied with our present abortion law in practice. Accordingly when Mr James White introduced a Private Member’s Bill last year to amend the law in cer­ tain important respects a Select Committee of MPs was set up to collect evidence and investigate. Last year its recommendations were accepted, “in principle,” at least, by the Government, through the voice of Mrs Bar­ bara Castle. On Monday the question


was whether that Committee should continue, to look at the problem or not. Broadly speaking those members in favour of few or any limits

say that every Conservative MP, bar one in hospital await­ ing a serious operation and another recuperating from an accident, was present in the lobby, voting against the Bill. So were Liberals and Scot- nats, Ulster Unionists and Plaid Cymru but unfortu­ nately not all of them. Therefore, the second read­


ing of the Bill was carried by a majority of eight. Even if the two sick Conservatives had been present the Bill would still have been passed.


DEFEAT So the fact, often forgotten


by critics of the Conservative Opposition, that Harold Wil­ son has a majority of one over all the other parties in the House, was again demons­ trated. Over Conservatives, without support from other parties, he has a working majority of anything from 20 to 40.

Therefore the idea that the


bearing that in mind, was that on the next day, the Wednes­ day, on a Conservative motion, criticising the Government’s handling of the motor indus­ try, the Government was defeated. On this occasion nearly all Liberals voted with the Government, but; most of the Irishmen, Scotsmen and Welshmen of the minority

the Government Whips, an almost unheard-of occurrence. Therefore by the Speaker’s direction there was a second division immediately after­ wards, but by then some members of all parties, think­ ing they had voted properly the first time, had left the House and did not return again until 10 p.m. So though the Government

was defeated it was only on a Motion, not a proposed piece of legislation, and obviously by a misunderstanding, for neither main party was pol­ ling its full strength. As the Commons goes about these things in a curious way the actual Motion was, as a form of criticism, to reduce the sal­ ary of the Secretary of State for Industry. Perhaps it is the salary of the Government Whips which should be reduced!


at 10 p.m. on Wednesday night was, in fact, consider­ ably more significant. Before the House was a Bill, techni­ cally a “private” one, ie not Government backed, which proposed a whole range of new powers for the West Mid­ lands County Council. By the terms of the Bill the local authority would have given itself far-reaching powers to carry out all sorts of opera­ tions from running slaughter houses to keeping shops, to managing a race circuit and registering dogs. Now most of these activities are normally carried out, if they are carried out at all, by private traders. Presumably many of them in the West Midland could have been put out of business by the Council which, no doubt, if it made a loss would fall back on the ratepayers for what would be called “assistance.”


What the House did vote on COMMON SENSE Perhaps it is not surprising


that there was hardly a single speech from the backbenches which wholeheartedly wel­ comed the Bill. Most MPs saw the measure as yet another undesirable advance towards State control.


voted for the Bill and 268 Conservatives and Liberals


Some 104 Labour MPs


against. So it was defeated by a majority of 164, something of a record in this parliament. Labour MPs had absented themselves and Conservatives had insisted, despite the origi­ nal opinion of the Whips, on being present.


Which showed at least, for


the second time in a somewhat confusing week, that Parlia­ ment does possess a collective common sense which is at times superior to party opinion.
