HC Deb 12 April 1877 vol 233 cc974-5
MR. ONSLOW

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to sanction any scheme for the erection of a Colonial and Indian Museum on the Thames Embankment or elsewhere, the cost of such building to be paid partly out of the revenues of India and partly out of the revenues of the Colonies?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The Government have no definite proposal before them for the erection of a Colonial and Indian Museum on the Thames Embankment or elsewhere. I am, therefore, not in a position to state their views on the subject.
