§ SIR FRANCIS POWELL (Wigan)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what steps the Government propose to take with reference to the recommendations of the Select Committee on Museums for securing the buildings at South Kensington against danger from fire?
§ MR. HANBURYThis Question is rather for my right hon. Friend the First Commissioner of Works than for me, but I may say that the additional Estimate which was presented and circulated some days ago provides for an immediate expenditure of £5,000 upon removing the more dangerous buildings on the east side of Exhibition Road, including the "boilers" and the electric lighting plant, displacing the occupants of the official residences, and reconstructing the entrance to the southern galleries on the west side of Exhibition Road.
