On April 11, 1916, Kuyper and eight of his supporters submitted a motion in the First Chamber. The government had held a meeting with the Second Chamber in committee and now Kuyper and his followers wanted to compel the government to reveal to the First Chamber what it had discussed (p. 377). On the same day Kuyper clarified the proposed motion (pp. 378–379), which was subsequently accepted. As a result, the First Chamber had a session in committee with the minister of internal affairs, P.W.A. Cort van der Linden (1846–1935), to discuss a preventive measure (namely, the retraction of military leave) that the government had taken based on intelligence pointing to an increasing threat of war for the Netherlands, a neutral country.
