HC Deb 01 February 1847 vol 89 c615
CAPTAIN POLHILL

wished to learn from the noble Lord (Viscount Morpeth) whether he was prepared to give any information to the House on the subject of the Wellington Statue, and whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to allow it to remain, or to have it removed. The reason why he put the question was, because if it were to remain where it was, the scaffolding might be taken down.

VISCOUNT MORPETH

The Government have signified their wish to the subcommittee of the Wellington Statue, that it should be removed from the place which it at present occupies.
