| Performance Notes | This meeting was added due to the overwhelmeing demand for tickets for the meeting held the previous day, 30 November 1918.
That meeting (originally scheduled for the 23 November 1918) was cancelled by the management of the Royal Albert Hall on advice from Scotland Yard because of the 'demonstrations of a revolutionary character' that had taken place recently by members of Mr Lansbury's supporters in the Hall at previous meetings. Because of this decision, the members of the Kensington branch of the Electrical Trades Union had cut off the electric light supply to the Hall. The management were forced to back down and the event went ahead.
"Albert Hall Reprisal - Following the cutting-off of the electric supply to the Albert Hall by the Electrical Trades Union as a reprisal, the band on the Labour meeting, which should have been held there last Saturday, has been removed on the recommendation of the Government, and the meeting will take place on Saturday next."
