HC Deb 14 December 1925 vol 189 cc956-7
33. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works whether he will arrange that before any war memorial statute, etc., is erected in the London area, full-sized models should have to be put up, as was done in the case of the Cenotaph, in order that the views of the general public may be expressed?

Captain HACKING

The First Commissioner regrets that he is unable to give an unqualified undertaking to this effect.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Will the First Commissioner consider it, whenever possible, in order to avoid such occurrences and so much trouble as took place under the hon. and gallant Gentleman's predecessor in guarding the Epstein panel?

Captain HACKING

Certainly.
