HC Deb 09 July 1897 vol 50 c1457
MR. H. KIMBER (Wandsworth)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether there is any reason why the Jubilee medal, proposed to be conferred upon provincial mayors and Scottish provosts, should not also be conferred upon the chairman of the metropolitan district boards and of analogous bodies, seeing that many of the metropolitan districts are more populous and have a higher rateable value and area than many provincial boroughs.

*MR. HANBURY

My right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Treasury yesterday stated that there is no proposal to confer the medal upon the gentlemen mentioned by the hon. Member.
