§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir John Simon)I have to inform the House that His Majesty has been graciously pleased to signify a desire that, at His Majesty's Coronation in Westminster Abbey on Wednesday, 12th May next, the House should be represented by Mr. Speaker. This intimation of His Majesty's Pleasure means that the House will dispense with going to the Abbey in its corporate capacity, and hon. Members will therefore be free to go to the Abbey in the manner most convenient to themselves. I, therefore, beg to move:
That this House, in accordance with His Majesty's gracious intimation, doth authorise Mr. Speaker, as representing this House, to attend His Majesty's Coronation in Westminster Abbey on Wednesday, the 12th day of May next.
