HC Deb 10 November 1921 vol 148 cc653-4W
Mr. REID

asked the hon. Member for the Pollok Division of Glasgow, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, the names of the architects from among whom the architect of the Houses of Parliament for Northern Ireland will be chosen?

Sir J. GILMOUR

After careful consideration, the First Commissioner has invited Mr. Ralph Knott, to design and execute the public offices in connection with the Civil Service of the Northern Irish Government; and he has also invited Mr. Arnold Thornely, of the firm of Messrs. Briggs & Thornely, to execute the Parliament House. Both these architects have consented to undertake the work, which will be begun as soon as circumstances permit.
