HC Deb 17 December 1902 vol 116 c1475
MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)

To ask the hon. Member for North Hunts, as representing the First Commissioner of Works when it is intended to re-erect the statue of King James the Second, which used to stand in Whitehall Gardens, and more recently on the south-east side of Whitehall; and whether, in selecting a site for it, regard will be had to the desirability of placing it in an open space of suitable size, and in 'which it will not be dwarfed by the neighbouring buildings.

(Answered by Mr. Ailwyn Fellowes.) It is not possible to re-erect the statue at this moment, as the garden is under repair. In selecting a site careful regard will be paid to the surroundings.
