HC Deb 05 April 1911 vol 23 cc2210-1
Mr. MARTIN

asked the hon. Member for Southampton, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, what objection there is to the Memorial to the late King Edward VII. taking the shape of an arch over the Mall, so that the site selected by the Memorial Committee may be retained without destroying the sylvan beauties of St. James's Park?

The TREASURER of the HOUSEHOLD (Mr. Dudley Ward)

The First Commissioner will be happy to communicate the suggestion to the Memorial Committee, but is unable to say what view they will take of it.
