HC Deb 24 May 1960 vol 624 cc202-3
36. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will make a further statement on the future of Euston Station.

Sir K. Joseph

I cannot yet add anything to my reply to the hon. Member's Question a week ago.

Mr. Wyatt

Has not the British Transport Commission said that although it will pull down the Doric Arch in such a way that it can be re-erected, it does not propose to provide the money to re-erect it? Is it not the case that only the Minister can now save this historic building which everybody with any interest in the matter—including the Royal Fine Art Commission—is anxious to preserve?

Sir K. Joseph

I understand that negotiations will go on between the British Transport Commission and the London County Council on this matter.
