HC Deb 29 April 1901 vol 93 cc58-9
SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT (Monmouthshire, W.)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will be prepared to grant a site for the statue of Mr. John Bright which it is proposed to substitute for the statue which has been removed.

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

I adhere to the pledges I have repeatedly given to find a site for a memorial of Mr. Bright. I understand that the statue which it is now proposed to present is to be a replica of that at Birmingham; and if the general sense of the House appears to be in favour of a memorial in that form, I shall be happy to do my best to select a suitable place for it.
