HC Deb 05 May 1930 vol 238 cc646-7W
Mr. HACKING

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will make a statement to the House regarding his proposals to alter the environment of the monument in Trafalgar Square?

Mr. LANSBURY

It is not proposed to make any change in the appearance of Trafalgar Square, but my Department has agreed in principle to the construction of an underground transformer station beneath the square, provided adequate measures are taken to safeguard the Nelson Monument, and subject to the approval of Parliament to the Bill which will be necessary.
