HC Deb 11 March 1908 vol 185 c1552
MR. HORNIMAN (Chelsea)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he has considered the need of an inventory being made of the ancient and historical monuments and constructions in England and Wales; and whether there is any reason why a Commission for this purpose should not be appointed at once.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

In the event of this being done, will not the first duty be to make an inventory of the ancient and historical monuments, and constructions in the House of Lords?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fifeshire, E.

My right hon. friend is not in a' position to make any statement at the present time; but he is willing to consider any representations that may be made to him on the matter.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

The right hon. Gentleman has not answered my Question.

MR. ASQUITH

I said my right hon. friend is willing to consider any representation that may be made on the matter.
