§ 10. Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Works whether he can give an estimate of the cost of moving Rodin's group, the "Burghers of Calais," from its present high pedestal down to a reasonable level.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe cost of moving the "Burghers of Calais," including the provision of a new pedestal is estimated at £4,000.
§ Dr. StrossCould the Minister say that, although the sum is not insignificant, he will be able to find the money in this Coronation year and let us look at this very important piece of work?
§ Sir D. EcclesI wish I could, but in fact I have not been able to get the money.
