HC Deb 24 May 1898 vol 58 c551
SIR J. MACLURE (Lancashire, Stratford)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether, in addition to the privilege to be accorded to the Members of the House of Commons, one ticket will be granted for his wife or daughter to accompany him to the State Funeral on Saturday next, to show the national respect to the great statesman who has departed?

MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS

I have communicated the suggestion contained in the Question of the honourable Baronet to the Earl Marshal for his consideration. All arrangements connected with the ceremonial are in his jurisdiction.
