The House of Representatives votes down a motion of censure by P.J. Oud of the VVD during the debate on the New Guinea issue. The VVD Minister of Foreign Affairs, D.U. Stikker, announced the motion to be unacceptable in advance. If, during the voting, the entire VVD party supports the motion Stikker will take logical step and resign. The council of ministers is of the opinion that with these state of affairs the four party basis of the cabinet has been taken away, decides unanimously to hand in their portfolio's and inform the queen of this.
