HC Deb 13 June 1887 vol 315 c1740
MR. HUNTER (Aberdeen, N.)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether the officials, usually employed at the post offices along the route of the Royal Procession to Westminster Abbey, have received notice not to attend on that day, that room may be provided for some of the higher officials of the Post Office to view the procession, without payment?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

No, Sir. In fact, the very reverse is the case. The Secretary of the Post Office made a personal inspection of the offices in question a few days ago, with the object of ascertaining what accommodation existed; and he then informed the officers in charge that it was my particular desire that none of the local staff should lose the opportunity of witnessing the procession.
