from a Lambeth correspondent

On 26th June, Hackney Metropolitan Borough Council unanimously rosolved that a message be sent to the Greek Embassy requesting that the proposed atate visit by the Greek Royal family be cancelled, The Labour group on the Westminster City Council followed up by asking the Westminster Council not to submit an "Address of Welcome" to the Greek Royal family.

This was the background to the tabling of two questions in the London County Council on July 2nd, suggesting that the LCC follows the example of Hackney. <A bitter and heated dispute in the Labour group led by a 32:18 vote to a decision to submit an "Address of Welcome" to the Greek state visitors, This was pushod through by Sir Isaac Hayward and his cohorts desp=ite the fact that the Executive Committee of the London Labour Party had commended a Hackney Central resolution, to the LCC L.P. group, which called on. the LCC to refuse to participate in the procsedings to walcome the visitors, In an unprecendented back-bench revolt, no less than 21 members of tho Labour group supported an adjournment motion to call attention to the unsatisfactory nature of replies to questions on the state visit, There were a few abstentions as well, The Right Wing voted with the Tories; the result was G4:2l, :

A fortnight later, on July 16th, the leader of the Council, Sir Isaac Hayward announced to the Labour group that the Policy Committee had decided on disciplinary action against the chief “offenders” in the affair. No leas than three junior whips and three vice-chairman of key committees are likely to be disciplined by removal from their positions.

Constituery parties, particularly in the North and East of London, can safoly be expected to doluge the London Labour Party and the LCC with domands for support for the 21 members who remained loyal to the London Labour Party decisions and faithful to the workers and people of London in their refusal to be a party to the disgrace of a Labour—controlled LCC addressing a loyal wolcome to the Greek Royal family, the symbols of anti-Commnisn and anti-domocracy in Greece,
