HC Deb 10 September 1931 vol 256 cc293-4
Mr. McKINLAY

I wish to raise a point of Order. I should like to ask who is responsible for the seat which is reserved for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales being occupied at the present time by another person. [Laughter.] I am raising this as a serious point of Order. It is not a matter for frivolity. In the absence of a satisfactory reply, I am going to call attention to the fact that there are strangers present.

Mr. SPEAKER

I am not aware that any seat is reserved for any person. Mr. Henderson.

Mr.ARTHUR HENDERSON

Mr. McKINLAY

I should like to have a satisfactory answer to the point I raised. As a Member of this House I am limited as to the places I can occupy, and I want to know under whose authority the Royal Seat is being occupied to-day?

Mr. SPEAKER

No seats are reserved.

Mr. McKINLAY

Many thanks, Mr. Speaker. I will remember that- in future.
