§ 14. Mr. E. Fletcherasked the Minister of Works if he will take steps to ensure the preservation and re-erection of London Stone when Saint Swithin's Church, Cannon Street, is demolished.
§ Mr. MolsonI understand that the Diocesan Board of Finance of the Diocese of London proposes that the London Stone should be preserved and re-erected as nearly as possible in its present position when St. Swithin's Church is demolished and the site redeveloped.
§ Mr. FletcherDoes the right hon. Gentleman realise that that statement will be welcomed by all who recognise the antiquity of this monument and are interested in the traditions of London?
§ Mr. MolsonI am obliged to the hon. Gentleman. I am entirely in agreement with what he said.
