HC Deb 02 July 1897 vol 50 c960
COLONEL WELBY (Taunton)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether it is intended to complete the architectural designs of the north front of Westminster Hall by filling the niches with statues of personages connected with the history of our country?

THE. FIRST COMMISSIONER or WORKS (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, 961 St. Augustine's

There is no proposal such as my honourable and gallant Friend suggests, under the consideration of the Office of Works.
