The Week in Parliament

Our Parliamentary Correspondent writes: Parliament has adjourned for a few days and most members are in their constituencies, helping in the blitzed areas, estimating the truth of Mr. Lloyd George's strictures on War Agricultural Committees, witnessing the visits of parents to evacuated children, watching the effects of rationing and of the concentra- tion of industry, and observing how the Budget is being " taken " by all sections of the community. Some members appear to be attending conferences, some are rumoured to be speaking at Easter schools. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has chosen a dramatic moment to confer degrees at Bristol Univer- sity, of which he is Chancellor, on Mr. Winant and Mr. Menzies and to send an inspiring message to our Yugoslav allies. * * * *
