of dob cod fidence in the new government in both of these utter votes the government was able to sur vi with the support of the or social credit members from alberta and british col ttmbia on neither of these votes despite their closeness the last vote was 134 to 126 was there any suggestion in the atmosphere of the green cham her in the house of commons that the government was any danger of defeat the house of coinmons was relaxed and this was evident even in the cal of the packed gal lenes where no one was antic- ipating in any way the defeat of the new government two more votes will tane place before the throne- speech 1 debate ends and it is antlcrp- ate that the voting pattern wdl repeat without any serious jwhiemi these votes do con 4ttm confidence in the govern j aeent and a

one of the first measures brought forward for debate will be cap ital punishment as i am sure everyone is aware this will be given time for debate by the government and a free vote given by members of the house of commons in keeping with the views of their constituents and their own views on this vi tal and important matter far as halton is concerned my mail and conversations i have had with many
