§ MR. LOWE (Birmingham, North)To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether, in view of the fact that the presence of Volunteers whose head quarters are outside London is desired in London to assist in maintaining order at the Coronation ceremonies, he will explain why they are expected on that occasion to pay their travelling expenses to and from London, and are only allowed a small amount to cover the cost of one meal.
(Answer.) The attendance of these Volunteers is purely voluntary, and they attend simply as spectators, and the rules for allowances are those adopted on previous similar occasions.—(War Office.)
