HC Deb 21 June 1932 vol 267 c918
51. Sir CHARLES OMAN

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in consideration of the expenses that will be involved in the transference of the contents of the Imperial War Museum to a new site south of the Thames, where a large building would have to be internally reconstructed, he will agree to the postponement of the transference?

Captain AUSTIN HUDSON (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. The Bethlem Hospital scheme has been slowed down with a view to reducing expenditure this year, and the future programme of work will be reviewed in the Autumn when the 1933 Estimates come up for consideration.
