HC Deb 14 May 1886 vol 305 c1037
MR. LAWSON (St. Pancras, W.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, For what reason the public and the Volunteers are still excluded from Westminster Hall?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CHILDERS) (Edinburgh, S.)

In reply to my hon. Friend, I can only say that as being responsible for the public safety I do not feel justified in now ordering any departure from the arrangements which at present obtain as to the admission of the public to Westminster Hall.
