Sir Laming Worthington-Evans Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, who died last Satur- day, will be genuinely missed in the House of Commons, where he had friends in all Parties. He made one of the best speeches of his career only last week, when he moved the Unionist vote of censure on the Government. He had a clear and agreeable voice, and his reasoning was not less clear. His legal training as a solicitor served him well in politics, and as Mr. Churchill suggests in a tribute published in the Times, he would have made an excellent Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was twice Secretary of State for War. It was not an enviable task to tell the keen members of a proud profession that they must make good with far less money, but Sir- Laming performed the feat without loss of either respect or friendship. * * * *
