HC Deb 17 August 1911 vol 29 c2102
Mr. GRANT

asked if the President of the Board of Education is aware that the National Competition Exhibition is being held in iron buildings, inadequate in size for the purpose and with a temperature so high as to inconvenience visitors; and if he can state why this exhibition is not housed in the space originally provided for it in the Victoria and Albert Museum?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

It is not the case that any particular space was provided for the National Competition in the new buildings for the Victoria and Albert Museum. With regard to the rest of the question I have nothing to add to the answers I gave to the hon. Member on the 6th and 31st March last on this question.

Mr. GRANT

Does the hon. Gentleman consider the present building satisfactory?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

It is the best possible under the circumstances.
