Replying to Major Clement R. Attlee, leader of the Labor opposition, Baldwin said: "There can be no morganatic marriage. The lady who marries the king becomes queen, and her children would be in the direct line of succession. The only possible way to put the matter right would be by legislation. His Majesty's government is not prepared to introduce such legislation. It would need the assent of all the dominions, and I am satisfied that this assent would not be forthcoming...

...wholly in vain that the high-strung leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, Laborite Major Clement Attlee, barked like a terrier at St. Bernard Baldwin: "The Mediterranean has been abandoned to the Fascist State! The Far East has been abandoned to Japan! What is left? The policy of this Government has not brought us nearer to Peace, but closer and closer...
