§ 34. Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in the case of statues of military officers erected for memorial purposes in London, the advice of his Department is sought as to the correctness or otherwise of the uniform, accoutrements, etc.; and, if so, whether his advice has been sought regarding the proposed statue of the late Earl Haig?
§ Mr. SHAWIf the hon. and gallant Member refers to statues erected under arrangements made by the Office of Works from money voted by Parliament, I understand that the general rule would be for my Department to be consulted in regard to technical details of the kind referred to. As regards the last past of the question, arrangements were made between my Department and the Office of Works for informed military advice to be placed at the disposal of the sculptor.
