Debate on the tariff test motion in the House of Commons
Winston Churchill chaired a likely final session debate on permanent empire unity and protective duties. Unionists and Free Feaders opposed the motion as a futile political tactic, arguing it would not shape fiscal policy or colonial aims. The vote split 2 to 2 1/2, with strong attendance and sharp clashes over government strategy and imperial taxation.
