David Lloyd George on C. P. Scott

“[He is] one of the heroes of the struggle, one of the ablest men they had and the most courageous Member who had ever been returned. ... He had made sacrifices and had run risks which few realised in the part which he had taken in this struggle—the greatest that England had passed through, he thought, for a century.”

“[I am delighted] that my native city is honouring itself today by conferring its highest distinction upon the greatest Liberal publicist of the day.”
