HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 c2031
48. Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the fact that the statue of Lord Nelson, erected in Dublin in 1808, is to be pulled down; and whether this statue can be acquired by the nation and re-erected at Portsmouth, from which port he embarked before the battle of Trafalgar?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

I have seen a Press report to this effect, but there are no funds at the disposal of the Government for such a purchase.
