The telegram was dispatched from London on July 2 and reads as follows: — "His Majesty the King has asked me to send his sincere thanks to members of the House for the message which I undertook in my speech in Parliament prior to mv departure to convey on their behalf. "His Majesty informed me that he is very grateful for the wholehearted way in which members are giving effect to the determination of his people in New Zealand to bring to a victorious end the struggle in which our armed forces have already played so glorious a part."
It was decided that the text of the telegram should be recorded in the minutes of the House. The message conveyed by Mr. Fraser to His Majesty contained an expression of the loyalty of members of Parliament and the people of New Zealand, and of their appreciation of the magnificent stand by the people of Britain during, the present war.
