MR. GRANT DUFFasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can engage that no decision will be come to during the Recess with reference to the Fife House Site, which may render it unavailable for the erection thereon of a Museum which may adequately represent the natural productions, manufactures, and arts of the Colonies and India; provided that the Colonies and India are prepared to take their fair share in an undertaking which is intended for the common advantage of all parts of Her Majesty's Dominions?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, without expressing any opinion as to the propriety of erecting a Museum for India and. the Colonies, said, that no arrangement, would be made during the Recess which would not leave the Fife House site available for any purpose to which it might be desired to appropriate it.
