I notice that the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Foot) delivered a very scathing attack upon the right hon. Member for Woodford when he was not in his place. [An HON. MEMBER: "And others."] He sneered at the sincerity and the patriotism of some of the speeches which the right hon. Gentleman has delivered during the life of the present Parliament. The hon. Member can say what he likes, but I have a shrewd suspicion that the most recent speech of the right hon. Member for Woodford and the sentiments which it contained will live in history a good deal longer than all the speeches which the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Foot) has ever made.
