HC Deb 21 June 1895 vol 34 cc1670-1
MR. HAYDEN

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, before coming to a decision on the question of giving a site on Westminster Palace grounds for a statue for Oliver Cromwell, he will give an opportunity to the present Parliament to express an opinion on the subject?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

That question is not yet arrived at; I cannot make any engagement on the matter.

MR. JOHNSTON

May I ask the right hon. gentleman whether he intends to make any further concessions to an anti-British and anti-Protestant party? [Cheers and Laughter.]

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I think that is a question which the hon. Member will hardly expect me to answer.
