HC Deb 07 July 1857 vol 146 c1043
MR. CONINGHAM

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of the Treasury, whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to remove the Royal Academy from that portion which it now occupies of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square?

MR. WILSON

replied, that the whole matter was at the present time undecided, because the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into it had not yet been received by the Government. He was not aware, however, of any intention existing at the present time to remove the Royal Academy from the building it now occupied. Certainly, no such decision had been come to.
