HC Deb 10 February 1908 vol 183 c1423
MR. T. L. CORBETT

On behalf of the hon. Member for Mid Armagh, I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works when the new electric light standards will be erected in the Mall.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. HARCOURT, Lancashire, Rossendale)

The casting of these standards is now going on, and it is hoped that those required to light the space around the Queen Victoria Memorial will be completed and fixed before July. The standards for the Mall will follow in due course; but I cannot fix any date at present; bronze founding is a lengthy process and occupies much longer than iron founding.
