HC Deb 23 August 1886 vol 308 c270
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)

asked the First Commissioner of Works, What has become of Temple Bar?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)

I am afraid I cannot answer this Question. Temple Bar was the property of the Corporation of London, and it was by them removed. What they have done with it I am not aware. I am afraid I can only refer my hon. Friend to the Corporation of London.

MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

gave Notice that he would call attention to the subject at an early opportunity, and move— That the stones of Temple Bar, being historical relics, deserving of preservation, ought at once to be re-edified in some convenient position, as near as possible to the old site.
