HC Deb 12 June 1918 vol 106 c2215
91. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary for Scotland what steps he has taken to forward the scheme of a permanent war memorial in Scotland; and whether he is yet in a position to make a Report?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

I have communicated with various representative Scotsmen and requested them to serve on the Committee which, as I indicated in my previous answers on this subject, I am setting up to consider how the question of a memorial can best be matured. I am glad to say that I am receiving affirmative replies, but as the Committee is not yet complete I propose to defer announcing the names for a few days.

Mr. HOGGE

How many representatives of Scotland has the right hon. Gentleman asked among his colleagues?

Mr. MUNRO

I cannot give the precise number—several.
