HC Deb 22 May 1911 vol 26 c112W
Colonel GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the War Office has by a recent order prohibited commanding officers of Special Reserve and Territorial battalions from attending the Coronation with the detachments from their units, arrangements will be made to allot seats for them to view the procession at the Horse Guards Parade or elsewhere?

Colonel SEELY

An allotment of tickets for stands on the line of route has been made to the headquarters of each command and district in the United Kingdom for which Regular, Special Reserve, and Territorial Officers had an opportunity of ballotting. A notification of this allotment appeared in the newspapers of 3rd February last. I am afraid no further facilities can be promised.
