I do not think we had better go into the business of blood. For a long time the Douglas's and the Hamiltons had a feud in which a great deal of blood was shed in Scottish history. On the whole, the Douglas's came out as the winners. I think it very unlikely that we should be ready to discuss in Parliament such matters as the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Easington (Mr. Shinwell) mentioned. A decision on this matter is very unlikely for some months to come.
