§ 46. Commander Locker-Lampsonasked the Prime Minister whether he will grant a day, or part of a day, for the discussion of the Motion standing in the name of the hon. Member for Handsworth?
§ "That, in view of the loss of Poland and Czechoslovakia and the imminent peril of Finland's overthrow and in view of the fact that the allied armies remain intact despite six months' war, the Government will free a substantial force for instant service in Finland, if necessary under the League of 2245 Nations, and appoint a committee of Members drawn from all parties in this House to take action in forwarding this purpose."
§ The Prime MinisterIn view of the state of Parliamentary business, I can hold out no hope of time being found for the Motion standing in the name of my hon. and gallant Friend.
§ Commander Locker-LampsonWhile recognising how difficult this matter is, may I ask whether in fact it is not true that as far as we know only the Finns have died fighting the Communist Colossus?
