HC Deb 20 February 1940 vol 357 c1121
1. Mr. Leslie Boyce

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he is in a position to make a statement regarding the funeral arrangements in the United Kingdom of the late Governor-General of Canada?

The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Mr. Eden)

Memorial services are being arranged in Westminster Abbey and in St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, on Thursday, 22nd February. The funeral will be private. I feel that the House would wish me to take this opportunity to pay a tribute to the great services to the Empire rendered by Lord Tweedsmuir and to express our deep sympathy with his family.
