HC Deb 01 March 1897 vol 46 c1346
MR. MASSEY - MAINWARING (Finsbury, Central)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Hertford House collection of objects of art has been bequeathed to the nation by Lady Wallace, and if he can state whether there are any conditions attached to such bequest; and when he will be able to inform the House what is the decision of the Government with reference to the above collection?

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

This magnificent collection has been bequeathed to the nation, but I am not able to make any further definite statement on the subject now. Perhaps my hon. Friend will put a question at some later day.
