HC Deb 11 May 1932 vol 265 c1881
Sir GEORGE PENNY (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household)

reported His Majesty's Answer to the Address, as followeth:

I thank you sincerely for your loyal and dutiful Address, informing me of the deep sorrow and indignation with which you have learned of the assassination of the President of the French Republic.

I fully share the sentiments to which your Address gives expression, and I will take care to convey to the Government of the French Republic the sense of abhorrence which, in common with myself, you feel for this detestable crime, and the sympathy for the family of the late President and for the Government and people of France which it has called forth in this country as throughout the British Commonwealth and the whole civilised world.
