HC Deb 19 July 1965 vol 716 cc158-9W
74. Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if, following his consultations with the appropriate authorities, he will now arrange for a plaque to be placed in Westminster Hall to mark the spot upon which the catafalque of the late Sir Winston Churchill rested during his lying in state.

Mr. C. Pannell

At the request of the Prime Minister arrangements were made some time ago for a plaque which is being installed today. It bears the inscription: "Winston Churchill lay in state here from the twenty-seventh of January until his burial at Bladon on the thirtieth of January nineteen hundred and sixty five."
