THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Lord WINDSOR)My Lords, I wish to make a personal statement with reference to the discussion about the condition of Holyrood Palace which took place on Monday last. Some misapprehension appears to exist as to what actually passed between the Lord High Commissioner and the Office of Works, owing to part of one letter only having been quoted in this House. On reconsideration of the matter, and in order to clear it up, I think it is right to lay the correspondence, and the Reports to which it refers, upon the Table.
