HC Deb 14 November 1912 vol 43 cc2110-1W
Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Report of the Committee appointed to advise on the site and planning of the new Delhi was a unanimous Report signed without reservations by all the members of the Committee; whether the Report will be published; if its publication is not intended, whether the Report recommends that the new Government buildings be erected in the Italian Renaissance style of architecture; and whether this advice will be followed?

Mr. HAROLD BAKER

The Report is unanimously and without reservations. It is confined to the selection of a site for the new capital, and has nothing to do with the style or architecture of the buildings. The question of publication must stand over until the Town Planning Committee have completed their inquiries.
