We all realise that the Leader of the House must have time to consider this matter, but will he remember that this is not only a question which might be one for Party discipline—as to the contents of the telegram which was sent—but that there is a very grave allegation, that names were appended without authorisation? That is a matter which concerns the House as a whole, because if that were to spread we might all find ourselves involved in things with which we did not agree. Moreover, the denials which come later never are quite able to catch up with the original story.
