Obituaries β Rt Hon Sir Brian Edward Talboys CH, KCB, AC
Honourable members, I regret to inform the House of the death on 3 June 2012 of the Rt Hon Sir Brian Edward Talboys CH, KCB, AC and member of the Privy Council, who represented the Wallace electorate from 1957 to 1981. From 1975 to 1981 he was Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Overseas Trade. He held a number of other portfolios in his parliamentary career, including Minister of Agriculture, of Science, of Education, of Industries and Commerce, and of National Development. I desire on behalf of this House to express our sense of the loss we have sustained and our sympathy with the relatives of the late former member. I now ask members to stand with me and observe a period of silence as a mark of respect for his memory.
Honourable members stood as a mark of respect.
