HC Deb 21 July 1887 vol 317 c1629
MR. P. STANHOPE (Wednesbury)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he is now in a position to furnish a precedent for the recent reception of an Address from the Grand Council of the Primrose League?

THE FIRST LORD (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)

If the hon. Gentleman will refer to The Gazette of the 16th of May, 1884, he will find mention of a very large number of addresses from Liberal Associations, presented to Her Majesty, expressing sorrow for the loss of the Duke of Albany. And there have been other cases of a similar character.
