Scope and Contents

Letter from Lord Halifax [earlier Edward Wood and Lord Irwin, Foreign Secretary] to WSC on the leadership of the House of Lords: [4th Lord] Salisbury is too old to deal with the stress, Jim [7th Lord] Stanhope [earlier Lord Mahon] not worth considering, [2nd Lord] Zetland [earlier Lord Ronaldshay] "does not fit into your whole bill" so [1st Lord] Caldecote [earlier Sir Thomas Inskip] or [1st Lord] Snell would be the best choice.
