On Monday the Upper House passed the Housing Bill through

Committee. As usual on such occasions the discussion was businesslike ; in each sphere that was touched there were well-informed speakers, experts in one matter or another, practical or moral. Those who spoke were brief and no one spoke unless he had something useful to say. What a contrast to another place ! On Tuesday the House accepted a motion for the presenta- tion for the Royal Assent of the Pluralities Measure, passed by the Church Assembly. The House of Commons returned to the Finance Bill, and read the Road Traffic Bill, as amended, for the third time.
