HC Deb 30 June 1930 vol 240 c1604
60. Mr. TINKER

asked the First Commissioner of Works if the painting of the unknown warrior's grave is to remain in Committee Room 10; and will he give consideration to it being placed in a more prominent position than the one it now occupies?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Lansbury)

The best position for this picture has been the subject of careful consideration, and I am afraid I am unable to suggest a more suitable position than that which it now occupies.

Mr. TINKER

Is my right hon. Friend aware that it was in the King's Robing Room before, and that many interested visitors ask where it has gone to, and we cannot get into Committee Room 10, because sometimes the Committee is sitting?

Mr. LANSBURY

There is a number of authorities who decide these matters, and before I took office this matter was thoroughly considered by all of them, and it was decided to put it where it now is.

Mr. TINKER

I hope my right hon. Friend will again consider it.
