HL Deb 21 June 1897 vol 50 c417
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (The Marquess of LANSDOWNE)

said he desired to state the arrangements under which their Lordships might be present on the occasion of the review at Aldershot on the 1st of July. Every Member of their Lordships' House would be entitled to a free place in the stands which would be erected close to the saluting point. Special trains would be provided to and from London and transport to and from Farnborough Station at a cost for each ticket of £1. The free tickets for the stands and the train tickets would not be transferable. Members of the House who might desire to obtain a second ticket could have one on payment of 15s. in addition to the charge of £1 for transport. Applications should be made to the Lord Chancellor's private secretary not later than Friday evening next, after which no applications could be entertained. He should also state that about 4,000 scats had been erected for sale to the general public at prices from 30s. to 15s. each. Applications for the purchase of tickets for these seats should be addressed to the General Officer Commanding at Aldershot.
