HC Deb 25 April 1961 vol 639 c228
36. Sir G. Nicholson

asked the Minister of Works if he will make a statement about the proposed statue of Earl Lloyd George.

Lord John Hope

Yes, Sir. On the recommendation of the Committee, of which my hon. Friend is Chairman, I am appointing Mr. Uli Nimptsch as the sculptor for the statue.

Circumstances have made it necessary for the Committee to meet many times in the last few years and I should like to thank them and my hon. Friend for the care and patience with which they have carried out their work.

Sir G. Nicholson

I am sure that the Committee will be most grateful, as I am, to my right hon. Friend for that Answer. It was not an easy decision for there were several sculptors apparently of equal merit. The Committee was very sorry for the disappointment caused to those who were not selected.
