HC Deb 20 April 1899 vol 70 c55
LORD BALCARRES

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether the plans of the new Museums at South Kensington can be shown in the Tea Room?

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

I presume that my noble Friend refers to the plans of the extension of the Art Museum—the plans for Science Buildings being already in the Tea Room. As I explained in my Reply to a Question at the beginning of the Session, these plans are practically the same as those formerly approved by the House, and it was therefore unnecessary to delay the work by again depositing them here; although I should be glad, as I said, to show them to any honourable Member who might desire to see them.

LORD BALCARRES

Will the Science Museum be included in the buildings marked "Royal College of Science" on the map in the Tea Room?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS

Yes, Sir.
