HC Deb 27 March 1912 vol 36 cc569-70W
Mr. T. E. HARVEY

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as Representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he can arrange for the alternative plan for the King Edward memorial in Green Park, in the farm of an open colonnade, to be exposed for view in the Tea Room, for comparison with the design at present recommended by the committee?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN

The model referred to is not in the possession of the First Commissioner but of the sculptor. The King Edward Memorial Committee unanimously decided that it was[...]nsuitable, and as the First Commissioner has not been approached by the committee with any suggestion to carry out this design in a Royal park, he regrets that he is not in a position to meet the request of the hon. Member.
