HC Deb 05 June 1924 vol 174 c1488W
Captain BOWYER

asked the Home Secretary for what reason he has refused the application of the Incorporated Association for Promoting the General Welfare of the Blind to use the prefix "Royal"?

Mr. HENDERSON

The grant of permission to use the title "Royal" is a prerogative of the Crown. I do not think I can properly give particulars of the reasons for the advice which I tender to the Crown in the case of a particular application for this honour.
