HC Deb 26 May 1909 vol 5 cc1181-2
Mr. ASHLEY

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the contradictory regulations issued by the Ministers in charge of the War Office and Post Office with reference to the attendance at Empire Day parades of those under their control; and what steps he proposes to take to bring the practice of these two Departments into harmony?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not aware of anything contradictory in the regulations issued. The conditions with which the two Departments have to deal are not the same.

Mr. W. W. ASHLEY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that schoolboys in uniform are prohibited, while postal officials in uniform may attend?
