§ Mr. JAMES HOPEasked the First Commissioner of Works whether it would have been competent for the Office of Works on their own responsibility to erect stands in the Royal parks or in front of Government buildings on the route to enable Members of both Houses of Parliament to view the funeral procession of His late Majesty?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Harcourt)No doubt it would have been within the competence of the Office of Works, but it was not considered advisable.
