It may be that events will have served to answer some of the criticism, Certainly, operations in Syria have had a good effect, There was the impression last night that news from there would be good news, It will be a questioning House wanting to know quite precisely why this and that has happened and what is being done to prevent a recurrence, Only if the Prime Minister sought to brush aside or evade any of the major issues, would there be any prospect of healthy criticism crystal-lising into hostility, The mainspring of present criticisms is a desire to get on with the war and not a wish to hamper its prosecution by a political crisis. If the Prime Minister-shows that past and oft-repeated lessons have been learned and that reassuring steps have been taken, the debate will end with automatic adjournment of the House without any vote being necessary,—
