The Unemployment Debate
In Parliament the week has been spent in elucidating —if that be the right word for a process which has not shed much illumination—the policy of- the Government: It will be convenient to take events in their chronological other. On Thursday, July 4th, MT. Henderson made the welcome announcement that the delegation to the League Assembly would include Lord Cecil, who would also be the British representative on the Preparatory Commission of the Disarmament Conference. In the continued debate on unemployment that day Sir Oswald Mosley said that there was an • electoral mandate for a bolder policy and he was confident that the Government could fulfil it, though, unlike Mr. Lloyd George, he would make no promise of a definite period. The statement in his speech which attracted most attention was that the electrification of Liverpool Street Station meant the -placing of orders worth over £75,000,000.
