Lord Mayor's Procession

HC Deb 24 July 1958 vol 592 cc652-3

14. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further information he has received from the City authorities arising from their review of the possibility of holding the Lord Mayor's procession on Saturdays.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am informed that the City authorities are conducting a review of this possibility, but that this review is not yet complete.

Mr. Lipton

Following on the gracious and practical decision to hold the Trooping the Colour ceremony on a Saturday in future, would the Home Secretary tactfully suggest to the City and Corporation of London that the Mansion House would do well to follow the very good example set by Buckingham Palace?

Mr. Butler

I am aware that the City authorities are aware of this precedent.
