HC Deb 02 July 1863 vol 172 c67
LORD JOHN MANNERS

said, he rose to ask, Whether the Government will now state what appropriation is proposed to be made of the ground at Burlington House; and secondly, under what management the Exhibition Building is to be placed?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

With respect, Sir, to the first Question, Her Majesty's Government have never felt that they would be justified in making a distinct proposal with regard to the disposal of the ground at Burlington House, until the House of Commons has come to a positive conclusion with respect to the Kensington Estate. The second Question I shall have an opportunity of answering in submitting to a Committee of Supply the proposition of my noble Friend at the head of the Government with regard to the Kensington Estate?
