The Dowager Lady Melchett declares that statements published yesterday (in the “Sunday Express”) as to the supposed contents of the late Lord Melchett’s will are “absolutely unauthorised and in the very worst taste”.

“I have never even seen the will, and no decisions have been taken yet regarding the disposition of the estate,” the Dowager Lady Melchett added. “No member of the family knows what is in the will”, she said, “and I am as unaware as everyone else of what it contains”.

Major H. L. Nathan, M.P., a friend of the late Lord Melchett, also said that the statements regarding the will were unauthorised, and that the full accurate particulars would not be available for a few weeks.
