HC Deb 30 October 1911 vol 30 cc522-3
Mr. WHITEHOUSE

asked when the design for the memorial to King Edward is expected to be submitted to the Government by the memorial committee in London, and when the question of the site will be taken into consideration?

Mr. DUDLEY WARD

The memorial committee is to meet on 3rd November, and until that meeting has taken place it is hardly possible to fix the date on which the design will be submitted to the Government. If the hon. Member will refer to the replies given in this House on 7th July and 8th August he will see that the First Commissioner has promised to exhibit the plans in this House as soon as they are ready.

Mr. NOEL BUXTON

In allocating the time of the Session, will the Government bear in mind the promise made that the House would be consulted before the site is decided upon?

Mr. DUDLEY WARD

That is not for me to say. I am sure the Government will remember all its promises.
