§ Mr. Speakermade the following communication to the House:
I regret to have to inform the House of the deaths of the Right Hon. Sir Kingsley Wood, Member for the Borough of Woolwich (West Division); David Adams, Esquire, Member for the County of Durham (Consett Division); and Sir Francis Edward Fremantle, O.B.E., Member for the County of Hertford (St. Albans Division); and I desire, on behalf of the House, to express our sense of the loss we have sustained and our sympathy with the relatives of the hon. Members.
In view of the sudden death of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I think the House will agree that it would be hardly fitting to call Questions which are down for his answer to-day.
