HC Deb 13 August 1913 vol 56 c2510
27. Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware of the pledge given by himself on the 30th July, 1912, that efforts would be made by competition to obtain a wide field of selection of architects for the New Delhi; whether the policy then announced has been dropped by the Government of India; and, if so, what ground can be given for the change?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Montagu)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by me to a question of his on 22nd July. The Government of India contemplate adopting the plan of competition for buildings other than those which have already been allotted to the selected architects.
