HC Deb 08 July 1897 vol 50 c1365
MR. F. J. HORNIMAN (Penryn and Falmouth)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can see his way to recommend to Her Majesty that the medal in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee, which it is proposed to confer upon chairmen of county councils, mayors, and provosts, should be also conferred upon chairmen of hoards of guardians of the poor, and the chairmen1 of urban and rural district councils?

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

There is no proposal to confer this, medal on the chairmen of county councils, boards of guardians, or rural district councils. The medal will be conferred upon the Lord Mayors, the Lord Provosts, and the mayors and provosts.
