EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.
KING AND QUEEN MARY.
(British Official Wireless.) Received December 8, 11.55 a.m RUGBY, Dec. 7
The Prime Minister was loudly cheered from all parts of the crowded House of Commons when he made his statement regarding the King. When a similar statement to that made by the Prime Minister was read in the House of Lords by Lord Halifax, the Marquess of Crewe, for the Liberals, said: "I feel we are all indebted to the Prime Minister and the Government for the attitude which thev have adopted in this difficult matter. I should like, afso, to add to what has been said in the expression of our profound sympathy with His Majesty an equal expression of sympathy with the Royal Family and in particular with Queen Mary, who has won so completely the respect and affection of His Majesty's subjects."
