§ Colonel GRANT MORDENOn reading the OFFICIAL REPORT of 26th May, I find I am reported to have said, during the Debate on Russo-British relations, that in a certain event the pay of the Opposition from a Foreign Government would stop. On looking at the matter, I find that I made a wholesale reflection upon Members of the Opposition which, after consideration, I frankly and fairly admit cannot be justified, and I have no hesitation in withdrawing it.
§ Mr. MACKINDERI have to say that, having heard the hon. Member's statement, I want to be just as frank and fair to Members of all parties. I made outside the House a statement which reflected upon the hon. Member for Brentford and Chiswick (Colonel Morden). That statement I ask permission to withdraw unreservedly.
