HC Deb 27 June 1939 vol 349 c238W
Sir P. Harris

asked the First Commissioner of Works on what authority were the charges on chairs in St. James's Park increased from 2d. to 1s. on the 22nd and 23rd June; and whether the increase was made with his sanction?

Mr. Ramsbotham

There was no general increase from 2d. in the charge for chairs in St. James's Park on the 22nd and 23rd June, but, in accordance with what has been the practice for many years, the chair licensee was authorised to make a special charge for chairs placed in approved positions along the routes followed by The King and Queen.
