HC Deb 26 March 1901 vol 91 c1385
MR. EDWARDS (Radnorshire)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the post of Poet Laureate became vacant on the demise of the Crown; and, if so, whether he will consider the advisability of abolishing the office.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

We do not propose to make any change.
