HC Deb 28 May 1900 vol 83 c1511
LORD BALCARRES

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if the plans of the new National Physical Laboratory buildings and the smaller building in connection therewith can be shown in the Tea-room for two or three days.

MR. HANBURY (for Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS)

A rough map showing the proposed site shall be placed in the Tearoom; but it will not be practicable to exhibit the final detailed plans which are not yet completed. Perhaps I may mention that the western portion of the two buildings will only measure 80 feet by 40, and will be placed 140 yards from the Queen's Cottage grounds in a position which will not interfere with any of the vistas from the gardens.

LORD BALCARRES

I asked for a plan of the buildings, not of the site.

MR. HANBURY

The detailed plans are not yet ready.
