The Week in Parliament Our Parliamentary Correspondent writes : The
House has spent most of the current week amending—or rather refusing to amend—the humble Address of Thanks for the Gracious Speech. The Labour Party, on Monday and Friday, told us we were insecure ; the Liberal Party, on Tuesday, told us we were going to be insecure in a few years time ; the Government has replied all along that in spite of some unlovely plants here and there, the garden as a whole is lovelier than in the days of the late gardener (dismissed in 1931), and compares more than favourably with any other garden in Europe. All this is a great credit (a) to the Government (" Nonsense," says the Opposition, " all these things happen in spite of you "), or (b) to the system of private enterprise which the Labour Parry would abolish.
