HC Deb 10 May 1961 vol 640 cc430-1
31. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for War how much his Department expects to spend on the occasion of the Royal Wedding at York next month; and if he will itemise such expenditure.

Mr. Ramsden

The Army will have the privilege of providing a guard of honour for Her Majesty The Queen. This will be found from troops in the neighbourhood; the cost will be about £50.

Mr. Hamilton

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that this is something like the figure we appreciate?
