HC Deb 24 February 1971 vol 812 c156W
77. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment having regard to the thick coat of viscous grease and dirt permeating the status of the late Sir Winston Churchill, in the Members' Lobby of the House of Commons, whether he will give immediate instructions for cleaning the statue and further instructions to maintain the statue in a condition appropriate to the late right hon. Gentleman's eminence and historical importance.

Mr. Channon

The sculptor has recently been treating the statue to improve its finish. Now that he has virtually completed the treatment, I think the condition of the statue will be found to be satisfactory.
