– in the House of Commons at on 9 December 1920.
Sir Harry Brittain
, Acton
asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that no commermoration has ever been held in this country which so touched the hearts of the people as did the burial of the unknown warrior in Westminster Abbey, it is possible to record for future history the name of the individual who first publicly made this very beautiful and appropriate suggestion?
Mr David Lloyd George
, Caernarvon District of Boroughs
I feel sure that the individual, whoever he was, will be quite satisfied with the result of his suggestion.
Mr Horatio Bottomley
, Hackney South
Will the right hon. Gentleman accept it from me, as the individual in question, that that is so?
Sir Harry Brittain
, Acton
Was not this suggestion first made publicly by Mr. J. B. Wilson, the news editor of one of the great metropolitan dailies?
