Lord Thomson was one of my . dearest colleagues.. He passed in and. out of No. 10 Downing’Street as a member of the ifamilyl. He was not only; a political bulwark but his door was always open his table .spread, and his fireside was ready to welcome me. ' You will understand my feelings not only as a Prime Minister but as-a human being.”
