Baldwin Accepts Premiership in George V Era
London reports Stanley Baldwin accepted the premiership offered by King George V after lunch at Buckingham Palace.

Bonar Law’s health remains unchanged with no new bulletins issued. Andrew Bonar Law writes to Glasgow unionists to stay in the House of Commons as MP for Glasgow Central, though attending Parliament this session is unlikely.
