HC Deb 27 April 1910 vol 17 c423
Lord CHARLES BERESFORD

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the expenses in regard to the Painted Hall, Greenwich, could be paid by the State instead of out of the Greenwich Hospital funds?

Mr. McKENNA

It is not considered desirable to alter the present arrangement whereby the expenses in regard to the Painted Hall, the contents of which are the property of Greenwich Hospital, are charged to its funds.

Lord CHARLES BERESFORD

Would the right hon. Gentleman consider the question, because if the expense were charged on Navy Votes, all the money now devoted to this purpose could go to the men?

Mr. McKENNA

I am aware of the circumstances of the case.
