HC Deb 15 February 1965 vol 706 c815
Mr. Speaker

I have to acquaint the House that I have received a copy of a joint resolution passed by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont, expressing sympathy at the death of Sir Winston Churchill. I will have this placed in the Library for the inspection of hon. Members.

I have also received a message of sympathy from the Standing Commission of the Congress of the United States of Mexico. The text of this I will have printed in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the text:

The Speaker, House of Commons

The Standing Commission of the Congress of the United States of Mexico requests Your Excellency to convey to the House of Commons their most sincere condolences on the sad occasion of the death of Sir Winston Churchill, who in one of mankind's most fateful hours succeeded so admirably in interpreting the indomitable spirit and the noblest traditions of the British people, thereby safeguarding the principles of liberty and democracy for the world.
