§ 45. Mr. BROCKWAYasked the Prime Minister whether time will be given before the Recess for a discussion upon the situation in India?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on Monday last in answer to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Pontypridd (Mr. Mardy Jones).
§ Mr. BROCKWAYHave there been no developments since last Monday which now make a debate desirable?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo; any developments that have taken place have been in exactly the opposite direction.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYIn view of the fact, that over 5,000 men and women are now in prison in India, and that the last hopes of a settlement seem to be destroyed, can this House have no opportunity of discussing this matter before we adjourn?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI deprecate most strongly any sort of statement that the last hope of a settlement has been destroyed, for, as a matter of fact, it is not true.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYMay I put this point of Order to you, Mr. Speaker, as to whether there is any means by which back bench Members of this House, in spite of an agreement between the three party Leaders, may have an opportunity of raising questions upon which they feel very deeply?
§ Mr. SPEAKERI cannot create new methods. The methods of the ordinary procedure are open to all Members, irrespective of party. I am afraid they must make use of the existing methods.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYMay I draw your attention to this fact, that, on the last occasion when we wished to raise the question of India in this House, we were compelled to use the Adjournment, and the important question of India was postponed until the last hour of that Adjournment, when the House was practically empty; and may I ask if that is a dignified way of dealing with this matter? [Interruption.]
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a matter of opinion.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYI am very sorry, but I cannot possibly be silent, in view of this situation. I speak with very great respect—
§ Mr. SPEAKERThis is not the time for a demonstration.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYI speak with very great respect, but, honestly, the situation in India is now so serious that we should be failing to do our duty if we did not speak our minds on this matter, and, if the Front Bench will not allow us an opportunity to do so, we must take other means of doing it. I say that with very great respect, but we cannot be silent on this matter. [Interruption.]
§ Mr. SPEAKERI shall have to name the hon. Member if he will not obey my Ruling.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYI speak with very great respect to you, Sir, but the situation is so terribly important that one cannot be silent. I speak with very great respect to you indeed, but it is impossible. The situation between this country and India has reached a crisis, and we should not keep silence on this matter. Our desire has been, as the Secretary of State for India knows, to assist him in reaching a settlement, and we feel that we could make a definite contribution to this problem at this point. [Interruption.]
§ Mr. SPEAKERI must name the hon. Member for East Leyton, Mr. Brockway, for disregarding the authority of the Chair.
§ The PRIME MINISTERI beg to move,
That Mr. Brockway be suspended from the service of the House.
§ Question put, "That Mr. Brockway be suspended from the service of the House."
§ The House divided: Ayes, 260; Noes, 26.
