The Week in Parliament Our Parliamentary Correspondent writes : As

so often in the House of Commons the storm bur,t from a cloudless sky. Members had assembled on Monday afternoon in scanty numbers expecting a humdrinn Parliamentary day concerned with the Tithe Bill and the Cattle Industry (Emergency Provisions (No. 2)) Act, 1935. Then unexpectedly, after question-time, Mr. Attlee moved the adjournment of the House and equally unexpectedly the Speaker, who has interpreted rigidly the standing order by which the adjournment can only be moved on a question of urgent public importance, accepted it. The whole Labour and Liberal Opposition leapt to their feet in support of it and it was clear there was to be a demonstration in force against the Government.
