THOUGHT TO BE 30/-
PRICE OF SEATS
LONDON, February 22.
The predicament of Dominion visitors' about Coronation seats was discussed in the House of ". Commons.
Lieut.-Colonel D. J. Colville, Secretary of the Department of Oversea Trade, said that the total cost of stands would approximate £140,000. The price of seats would be fixed at half the net cost.
It is understood that the price has been fixed at 30s, half of which will be borne by the Government and half paid by the occupant. The allocation of seats in these stands is under consideration. It is hoped to give representation to as many aspects of national life as possible. Arrangements are being made for the floodlighting between Coronation Day and xMay 17 of Buckingham Palace, the Victoria Memorial, St. James's Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the National Gallery, the Tower of London, Somerset House, Windsor, Hampton Court Palace and grounds, the Admiralty Arch, Westminster Abbey, St. George's Chapel, Windsor, Trafalgar Square, and the Royal Mint.
