HC Deb 19 June 1899 vol 72 cc1481-2
GENERAL RUSSELL (Cheltenham)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention to provide accommodation for Members of Parliament, so as to enable them to witness the Review at Aldershot by Her Majesty on the 26th instant.

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Perhaps my hon. and gallant friend will allow me to answer this question. It is not proposed to erect any stands, but the General Officer Commanding, Aldershot, Will do the best he can to accommodate the carriages of persons desiring to see the Review. Applications for carriage tickets should be made to the Chief Staff Officer, Aldershot.

GENERAL RUSSELL

Will Members who do not possess carriages have accommodation?

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Yes; I understand that standing room will be reserved also, and that application for standing should be made in the same way as for carriages.
