HC Deb 22 January 1959 vol 598 c56W
Lord Balniel

asked the Minister of Works what places are under consideration by his Department as providing possible sites for the statues of Gordon and Kitchener which are being brought from Khartoum.

Mr. Molson

Various suggestions have been made in the Press and elsewhere about the disposal of these statues. After careful consideration the Government have decided to offer the statue of General Gordon to the Gordon Boys' School at Woking and that of Lord Kitchener to the School of Military Engineering at Chatham. Both bodies have made definite applications and have offered to meet the cost of erection and of transport within this country.
