§ 76. Mr. Perkinsasked the Minister of Works whether he will grant permission for the use of Westminster Hall for a lunch for Dominion, Colonial and British Members of Parliament immediately before the Coronation, as happened on 7th May, 1937.
§ Mr. EcclesThe Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, who arranged the luncheon in 1937, have approached me about a similar luncheon next year, and I have gladly given my approval.
§ 77. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Works whether his investigations show that the seating facilities along the Coronation route are likely to be adequate for those who want to see the procession.
§ Mr. EcclesI am responsible only for stands in the Royal Parks, in Parliament Square and outside buildings which are in the charge of my Department. I hope to make full use of these sites to accommodate as many people as possible, but it is not possible to provide seats for all who would wish them.
