Can the Noble Lord give an assurance that in the Larger Crisis that has arisen Abyssinia will not be sacrificed?

In the meantime, whilst This Larger Crisis is being overcome, they are being forced to lose the good will of the public because of the economy measures which they are forced to take.

It is true that it was perhaps a Larger Crisis than the present one - I cannot tell - but the costs then were £400 million, to be dispensed under the Transport Act.

Rather than hoping and praying that something else will not happen to this country, we need to work with international organisations and devise an international framework of supervision, which will be effective as and when the Larger Crisis occurs.
