Nor was ailing Tory Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden alone to blame, he went on: "There were others involved, and they were not ill." Jabbing his finger at Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, Gaitskell cried: "I believe that the guilty men are sitting there on those benches. It is time that they were...
