HC Deb 20 August 1894 vol 29 c21
MR. EVERETT (Suffolk, Woodbridge)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he has considered the question of putting a statue of Oliver Cromwell in some part of the Palace at Westminster; and whether he will be able to gratify the wish of many that there shall be such an addition to the statues there?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. H. GLADSTONE, Leeds, W.)

No series of historical personages can be complete without the inclusion of Cromwell. As I have already said, I have no funds at my disposal this year to defray the cost of a statue; but I have obtained the sanction of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer for making the necessary provision in the Estimates for next year.
