HC Deb 03 April 1912 vol 36 cc1169-70
Mr. GRANT

asked the President of the Board of Education whether it was intended to remove and thereby destroy a quantity of coloured and modelled decoration, done over forty years ago by artists of recognised ability, from the northern or lecture theatre gallery and from the adjoining western staircase in the Victoria and Albert Museum; and, if so, for what practical benefit or purpose was this destructive work to be carried out?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. J. A. Pease)

I have at present no such intention as is suggested in the question.
