HC Deb 11 August 1884 vol 292 cc443-4
MR. BENTINCK

asked, Whether the site for the new statue of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington at Hyde Park Corner had been definitively chosen; and whether there was any foundation for the incredible rumour that the statue was to be placed not on the high ground of the vacant space, but upon sloping ground between the Triumphal Arch and St. George's Hospital?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

There is no foundation for such a rumour. It will be placed on the upper ground, very much on the ground occupied by the former statue.
