HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 cc2480-1
2. Mr. Hoģģ

asked the Minister of Works what buildings it is proposed to demolish in order to make a space for the proposed George V Memorial.

Mr. Tomlinson

The scheme approved by Parliament in 1939 for the George V Memorial requires the eventual demolition of No. 5 Old Palace Yard.

Mr. Hoģģ

Is that a rather beautiful eighteenth century building?

Mr. Tomlinson

I should imagine it is eighteenth century, but I think the question of beauty is a matter of taste.
