§ 60. Sir ERNEST BENNETTasked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the recent discoveries by aeroplane of hitherto unknown camp sites along the Roman Wall, he will consider undertaking the excavation of these and other portions of the Wall system?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Lansbury)I have at present no power to undertake such excavations, and, in any event, it is probable that more urgent archaeological problems in connection with the Wall should be dealt with first. I am, however, obliged to my hon. Friend for his suggestion.
