§ 47. Mr. Longdenasked the Lord President of the Council if he will move for a Select Committee to consider the desirability of erecting in an appropriate part of the Palace of Wesminster a fitting memorial to Sir Thomas More, sometime Member of Parliament and Speaker of this House, and later Lord High Chancellor of England.
§ Mr. BowdenNo. I am sensitive to the historical importance of Sir Thomas More but there would be difficulty in choosing one great man against other great men. I think there would need to be very general support in the House for this.
