HC Deb 11 November 1884 vol 293 c1461

In reply to Mr. MITCHELL HENRY,

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

said, the removal of earth in front of the buttresses on the west side of Westminster Hall was merely for the purpose of levelling the ground. No money would be spent on the structure until the Committee had reported, and it would not be necessary to replace the earth whatever was done.
