PAL) OF TERM Sip.,--Mr, Critchley is sadly misinformed about the
voting at the end of the debate on out possible entry into the European Common Market. He states that Mr. Fell was joined in the lobby against the Government by 'Messrs Foot, Hughes, Danes, Silverman, Warbey, Baxter and Zilliacus.' He states that these gentlemen made a total of five plus two tellers yet he names eight. 'Mr. Danes' is presumably Mr. Davies (Stephen). I suppose the insertion of the name of Mr. Warbey is a reasonable slip, since Mr. Warbey was one of those Labour Members who expressed his opposition but then meekly gave way to the party whip—just as, most noticeably, Mr. Shinwell did. After his fierce attacks on the Prime- Minister, Mr. Shinwell should have voted against him, for I very much doubt if even the present Labour Leadership would have gone so far aS 10 withdraw the party whip from Mr. Shinwell.
