HC Deb 08 February 1957 vol 564 c110W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Works whether, in consultation with the President of the Royal Academy, he will initiate a competition for the design of a statue to be erected in Parliament Square to mark the independence of Ghana and the elevation of the first Negro State to full membership of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

Mr. Molson

I do not think it would be wise to erect a statue to commemorate one step in the constitutional evolution of the British Commonwealth of Nations when so many others have not been commemorated in this particular way.
