BALFOUR (City of London)asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, as it was a subject of general observation that the pedestal of the statue of Sir William Harcourt in the lobby ought to be lowered in the interest both of the statue as a work of art and of the appearance of the lobby, he would consider the matter.

Gentleman was one generally felt by the House, and therefore he would try to exhibit some plan for 1044 the approval of Members in the usual manner in the tea room.
