HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 cc1605-6
74. Mr. CHURCHILL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, without prejudice to any more important or conspicuous memorial to Members of this House who have fallen in the field during the present War, he will consider the desirability of engraving the names of such members on the small brass plate at the back of the seats which they were accustomed to occupy or are held most usually to have occupied when in attendance upon the House, in order that the House may preserve their memory in this simple, intimate, and at the same time unprecedented manner?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am personally attracted by the suggestion of my right hon. Friend, but it is, I think, a question rather for the Members of the House than for the Government.
