§ Lieut.-Colonel POWELLasked the First Commissioner of Works whether any stands are being erected by his Department for Members of Parliament desiring to view the Royal procession on the occasion of the wedding of His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREIn order to meet the desire of Members of both Houses to view the procession, I am arranging for stands to accommodate 700 persons to be set up in the southern portion of Parliament Square green, facing east and south. The charge will be the cost price of erecting the stand, which is unlikely to exceed £1 per seat, and arrangements for a ballot for these seats will be made in the usual way; in the case of this House through Mr. Speaker's Secretary.
