4. Mr. J. T. Priceasked the Minister of Works how far, in calculating the charges of £6 and £4, respectively, for seats on Coronation stands, credit has been given against the costs of erection for all the seats which will be earmarked free of charge to respective persons.
§ Mr. EcclesThe prices of £6 and £4 per seat were calculated on the average cost of construction and, in fact, are below the costs as now known. The cost of the free seats to Members of both Houses of Parliament who do not go into the Abbey and to members of the Diplomatic Corps and other distinguished guests will, therefore, be met out of Voted money.
