 In Britain... There is a major debate in the House of Commons on
the conduct of the war and especially of the Norwegian campaign. At the
vote Chamberlain's government has a majority of 281-200 but when
compared to former support this is not sufficient to allow the
government to continue to claim to be representative. Neville Chamberlain
resigns. In fact the errors of the Norwegian campaign have been at least
as much Churchill's as any others. However, in a wider sense the
responsibility is Chamberlain's for failing to to establish a coherent
decision-making structure to see that plans were properly coordinated
and that subordinates worked sensibly and efficiently.
