MR. PHILIP STANHOPE (Burnley)

called attention to the question of a vacant space which might possibly be available in a short time, and which he hoped would not be taken up for any other purpose except in connection with the National Portrait Gallery.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

said the matter was under consideration and it should not be lost sight of.

Resolutions to be reported to-morrow; Committee to sit again to-morrow.
