PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 2 JUNE 1989
It was with deep regret that I learned of the death of
Malcolm Scott.
Malcolm Scott served as a Senator for Western Australia from
1950-71. He was Minister for Customs and Excise 1968-69 in
the Gorton Government.
In recognition of Malcolm Scott's distinguished contribution
to Australia and as a mark of respect, the Government will
accord him a State Funeral.
The service will be held at the Anglican Church of St
Michael, Mount Pleasant, Perth, on Wednesday 7 June, at
2.00 pm, followed by a burial in the Fremantle Cemetery.
As a further mark of respect, the Australian National Flag
will be flown at half mast in Western Australia and the
Australian Capital Territory on Wednesday, 7 June, the day
of the State Funeral.
