§ 37. Mr. A. J. Irvineasked the Attorney-General what official arrangements are being made to commemorate the 750th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta, and what cost to public funds will be involved.
§ The Attorney-GeneralA ceremony in the Great Hall of the Law Courts will be held on 15th June, 1965, the first day of the Trinity Term, which my noble friend the Lord Chancellor will attend accompanied by all the judges of the Supreme Court who are in London. It is hoped that a representative gathering of the legal profession in this country, together with a number of distinguished visitors from the Commonwealth and the U.S.A., will be present. The cost is expected to be of the order of £1,500. Perhaps I might add that Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to intimate her intention of attending a commemorative service at St. Paul's Cathedral on Thursday, 10th June, 1965.
