HC Deb 29 March 1883 vol 277 c991
MR. SCHREIBER

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he has now received a report on the condition of the "Achilles" in Hyde Park; and, whether the process of corrosion, the effects of which are so plainly visible, is to continue unchecked until it has rendered the statue insecure?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

I have had a Report upon the condition of the "Achilles" statue, to the effect that it is suffering a good deal from decay. It will be necessary to obtain professional advice as to the steps to be taken for arresting this, and for making good the defects; and this I propose at once to do.
