§ 35. Colonel WEDGWOODasked what steps are being taken to raise a memorial in Palace Yard to the twenty Members orex-Members of Parliament who fell in the War; and, if this question is still under consideration, will he see that steps are taken to hasten decisions, in view of the fact that our Parliament gave more names to the roll of honour than any other Parliament in any other country or at any other age?
§ Sir A. MONDA memorial to Members and officials of both Houses of Parliament who have fallen in the War is in course of execution by Mr. Bertram McKennal, R.A., and is to be placed in Westminster Hall. This memorial was undertaken at the instance of a Joint Committee of both Houses of Parliament during the last Parliament, and has received my approval and that of the Lord Great Chamberlain. The secretaries of the Memorial Fund will be glad to furnish any Member with further information if desired.
§ Mr. BOWERMANIs it proposed to place a model of the proposed memorial in the tea room?
§ Sir A. MONDI believe that a drawing was at the time placed in the tea room.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODAre we to understand that we are not to have this memorial in the Palace Yard?
§ Sir A. MONDA committee that went into the matter decided that the Palace Yard would not be a suitable place.
§ Earl WINTERTONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that when the drawing was placed in the tearoom one name was wrongly spelt and one was omitted altogether, and will he see that these mistakes are avoided?
§ Sir A. MONDYes, certainly.
