§ Mr. McCorquodaleBefore the outstanding Votes are put, I should like to say that on this occasion we do not propose to divide the Committee against any of these Votes. That does not mean that there are not certain things with the Government's handling of which, we disagree. It does not mean there are not criticisms that could reasonably be made. How- 2372 ever, there are, of course, other subjects of which we approve, and we should not like our votes to be misrepresented in any quarter.
