§ 39. Mr. BURNETTasked the First Commissioner of Works for what reason he proposes to retain the existing painting and tiling of Westminster Crypt (St. Mary's Chapel Undercroft)?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)I fear I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend on the 20th April last.
§ Mr. BURNETTDoes the right hon. Gentleman remember that he asked me 1772 what were the decorations to which I objected?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREIf my hon. Friend will make representations to me, and see me about it, I will go further into the matter. But I cannot hold out any hope that public funds will be available to make any alteration in the crypt decorations.
