HC Deb 16 February 1899 vol 66 c1079
MR. WHITMORE (Chelsea)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he will direct that the designs of the elevations for the new public buildings at South Kensington, and for the new Government offices at Whitehall, shall be exhibited in the Tea Room?

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

According to my promise, the designs for the new public buildings shall be exhibited for the inspection of honourable Members, including those for the new science buildings at South Kensington. Those for the Art Buildings on the east side of Exhibition Road being practically those already laid before the House, I have given instructions to the architect to proceed with them, but I shall be happy to show them to my honourable Friend or to any honourable Member who may desire to see them.
