HC Deb 10 February 1931 vol 248 c213
73. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the First Commissioner of Works if he will undertake that the amended model of the Earl Haig statue will not be adopted until Lady Haig, the British Legion, and the Houses of Parliament have been consulted and have signified their approval?

Mr. PALING

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which was given in this House on the 4th instant, to the hon. Member for Chislehurst (Mr. Smithers).

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Will the hon. Member represent to his right hon. Friend that the confidence of the people of this country in regard to the judgment of the assessors has been severely shaken, while the people mentioned in the question are the best qualified to give an expert judgment?

Mr. SMITHERS

On a point of Order. In the answer that has been given reference is made to a question which I put upon this subject. May I ask a supplementary question upon that?

Mr. SPEAKER

I do not think the hon. Member is entitled to ask a supplementary question on an answer given on a previous day.
