Margaret Thatcher funeral: Body moved to chapel for Westminster Dean’s service
Prior to the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, who died last Monday, the corpse of former Conservative PM will be relocated to the Chapel of St. Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday. A parliamentary vote may be cast later on whether to annul Prime Minister’s Questions in order to permit MPs to attend the Margaret Thatcher funeral. Two MPs, George Galloway of the Respect Party and Dennis Skinner of the Labour Party, have endeavoured to obstruct the Coalition plan to postpone the Commons’ commencement on Wednesday. George Galloway has thundered that there has been unnecessary fawning over Margaret Thatcher’s death.
Dennis Skinner and George Galloway expressed opposition on Monday to the idea of annulling the Prime Minister’s Questions to participate in the Margaret Thatcher funeral. The parliamentary motion to terminate the Prime Minister’s Questions to enable the MPs to be present at the Margaret Thatcher funeral is expected to be ratified as a greater proportion of Labour MPs have voiced that they would not block such a motion.
