§ MR. MACDONA (Southwark, Rotherhithe)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that notice is given in The London Gazette of the 27th of April that the Queen's Birthday will be celebrated in London alone on Saturday the 26th of May next, and at all other stations, Naval and Military, on Thursday the 24th of May next; and whether he can arrange so-that Her Majesty's Birthday may be kept by Londoners also on the 24th of May, as will be the case by Her Majesty's subjects elsewhere all over the world?
§ SIR W. HARCOURTThis arrangement belongs to a much higher authority than I can pretend to, and I am afraid I cannot give the hon. Member any information. I am, however, having inquiry made.
