Final answer:
The details of the question regarding the number of 'votes' for Hugh Gaitskell at the 1960 Scarborough Conference appear to be incorrect, as votes in the millions would not have been possible. The conference was a significant event in the history of the British Labour Party.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to an event in British political history, specifically the Labour Party leadership contest during the 1960 Scarborough Conference. In this contest, Hugh Gaitskell was challenged by Harold Wilson. Gaitskell was indeed successful in retaining leadership of the party, yet the question regarding the number of 'votes' seems to be a trick one. It is not a matter of public record that votes were measured in millions at this conference, as this would imply an impossibly large number of Labour Party members at the time. Therefore, the premise of the question seems to be incorrect. Votes within party leadership contests typically involve members of the party's parliamentary faction and sometimes the broader party membership, but not on the scale suggested here. It may be that the question is based on a misinterpretation of the historical record.
