He said he didn't want to lay down a law. That was a matter that should be considered to see what would be the best and fairest thing to do for her.

Lady Beveridge thanked the Council for their reception and also their good wishes. SIR WILLIAM AND LADY BEVERIDGE THEN LEFT THE MEETING. EW/17.12.42.
