§ Mr. Sorensenasked the First Commissioner of Works why the piece of canvas over the stairs leading down to the Terrace is allowed to remain in its present half-painted and untidy state; and whether it can be either finished or removed?
§ Sir P. SassoonThis is a preliminary drawing by Professor Tristram of the reconstruction of an ancient painting formerly in the old Palace of Westminster, and was placed in its present position some years ago in the hope that a donor would provide funds for the finished work, as was done in the case of the reconstructions on the Terrace stairs and in the Lobby below. As the object has not been achieved, I propose to remove the drawing.
