HC Deb 12 August 1913 vol 56 c2244
33. Mr. KING

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First. Commissioner of Works, whether he has noted the proposal that the Admiralty Arch should be surmounted by a block of sculpture or a model of Nelson's ship, the "Victory"; whether the structure of the arch admits of such a proposal being carried out; and whether any practical suggestion of this kind will be favourably considered?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN

It was originally proposed to place a group of sculpture on the Admiralty Arch, but after careful consideration the project was abandoned.
