§ MR. J. GOLDSMIDsaid, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, When the new design for the elevation of the University of London is likely to be finished; and, whether he will, before giving orders for its execution, afford the House and the University an opportunity of expressing an opinion upon it?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSSir, I am not able to say when Mr. Pennethorne will be able to complete his new design. The view I take of the vote of Friday is that the House itself wishes to choose the design, and I shall therefore place Mr. Pennethorne's design in the Library, in order that the House in its capacity of Building Committee may have an opportunity of inspecting it. As regards the University; I am bound to say that I do not feel it part of my duty to add so largely to that Committee.
