Is not it the case that the result of the action of the Governor in making some of these arrests is to alter the balance of the parties in the Legislative Assembly? What is the right hon. Gentleman's comment on that situation? How does he think that the Government can carry on? Secondly, will the right hon. Gentleman say again, when he has considered the matter afresh, whether any charges are to be brought against those who have been arrested? Is he aware that if he continues to back actions of this nature whilst rejecting any proposals from any quarter for trying to seek a different constitutional settlement, we can only draw the conclusion that his actions are calculated to cause mischief and damage?
