§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)The people of this country have heard with profound sorrow of the untimely death of the King of the Belgians. I am sure that it will be the wish of this House to record its sympathy with the Royal Family and with the people of Belgium. Therefore, I propose to-morrow to move a Resolution in the following terms:
That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty to convey to His Majesty the expression of the deep regret with which this House has learned the news of the death of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, and to pray His Majesty that he will be graciously pleased to express to His Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant, the heir to the Throne of Belgium, the profound sympathy of this House with Her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians and the Royal Family, and with the Government and people of Belgium.
