HC Deb 28 July 1964 vol 699 c269W
Q11. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Prime Minister what further consideration he has given to the question of determining when Her Majesty's Government and Parliament should express sympathy with other Commonwealth Governments and peoples on occasions of grave calamity or the death of eminent statesmen.

The Prime Minister

On consideration I have decided that it would be inappropriate to have set rules and in cases of doubt I would prefer to rely on consultations at the time.
