HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 c2000
45. Mr. LYNCH

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the desire to create a democratic sentiment in this House, some steps will be taken to honour the memory of the late Mr. Keir Hardie, and to call attention not only to his Parliamentary work but also to his devotion to democratic ideals throughout his Life , and whether, accordingly, some fitting memorial will be erected in this Douse to typify the phase of national endeavour which he represented?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)

Those who, like myself, were colleagues of the late Mr. Keir Hardie, entertained, I am sure, a great respect for his sincerity and honesty, but I see no reason for adopting the suggestion of the hon. Member.
