§ MR. CLAUDE HAYI beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works when the statue of Her late Majesty Queen Victoria, in connection with the Victoria. Memorial in the Mall, will be erected.
§ *MR. HARCOURTI am unable to fix a date. It depends upon the progress made by the sculptor, and the rapidity with which the marble is supplied.
§ MR. CLAUDE HAYCan the right hon. Gentleman give the House any idea whether it will be this year, next year or the year after?
§ *MR. HARCOURTIt will not be this year.
