HC Deb 19 June 1934 vol 291 c206
Mr. SPEAKER

I have to ask the indulgence of the House for a moment. The University of Oxford has honoured me by proposing to confer a degree upon me to-morrow. As this proposal is, no doubt, due to the office to which the House has called me, I ask the permission of the House to be absent on that occasion.

HON. MEMBERS

Hear, hear.
