HC Deb 13 August 1896 vol 44 c750
MR. ELLIOTT LEES (Birkenhead)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, seeing that all other Statesmen except Lord Randolph Churchill, who have led the House of Commons and who have died within recent years, have been commemorated by some memorial within the Palace of Westminster or its immediate neighbourhood, the Government are prepared to find a site for some memorial to the late Lord Randolph Churchill?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

In answer to my hon. Friend I have to say that there will be no difficulty as regards a site, and if my right hon. Friend the First Commissioner of Works is approached by a responsible Committee he will consider favourably any representation made to him.
