HC Deb 03 August 1897 vol 52 c244
MR. SEALE-HAYNE (Devon, Ashburton)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will favourably consider the claims of the chairmen of district councils, whose districts contain populations of not less than five thousand, to some recognition of their services similar to that which has been accorded to mayors of boroughs having even lesser populations, by the grant of jubilee medals?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

The Prime Minister informs me that he is not in a position to make any representations on the subject.
