HC Deb 06 May 1958 vol 587 cc99-100W
Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Works whether he will arrange to complete the stands on the Horse Guards Parade as soon as possible so that visitors from overseas and particularly the Dominions can enjoy watching the guard-mounting parades, including Trooping the Colour, which battalions of the Brigade of Guards are carrying out each morning until 12th June.

Mr. Molson

It is planned to complete erection of the stands in time for the first rehearsal of Trooping the Colour on 31st May. It would not be possible to finish the work sooner without incurring additional expense, which I do not consider to be justified.
