HC Deb 01 June 1893 vol 12 cc1765-6
MR. REES-DAVIES

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what arrangements have been made to enable hon. Members of this House to witness the trooping of the Colours?

*MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The ceremony of trooping the Colours in honour of the Queen's Birthday is entirely controlled by the Brigade of Guards. Neither the War Department nor the Military Authorities within that Department have any share in the management of the arrangements, including the issue of tickets. I am informed that, within the available limits, tickets have been issued to hon. Members of the House applying for them; and I hope that in this way the same facilities will he afforded to hon. Members as on previous occasions.
