HC Deb 20 December 1937 vol 330 c1594
33. Captain Alan Graham

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will give orders for the cleaning during the Recess of the portrait of Luke Hansard, now hanging in the Members' newly-cleaned Dining Room; and whether he can substitute the correct heraldic coat-of-arms over the mosaic figures of the national patron saints of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in the Central Hall of the Palace of Westminster for the present incorrect ones?

Sir P. Sassoon

The picture of Luke Hansard was cleaned recently and I am advised that more drastic treatment would be detrimental; I will consider whether its position might be altered with advantage. I will also consider the suggestion of my hon. and gallant Friend regarding the mosaics.
