DEATH OF MR. IAIN MACLEGD
Comment by the Prime Minister, Mr. John Go:-. ton
I am sorry to learn of the death of Mr. lain MacLeo. 3019
This is a sad loss to the new British Government.
Mr. MacLeod had a distinguished record in the British
Parliament, having been a Minister in Conservative Gover-.; ments over
a period of eleven years.
It is a matter of deep regret that he was not spared to serve
his country in his new appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
I extend my sympathy to his colleagues and to his family.
