HC Deb 17 October 1918 vol 110 cc343-4W
Mr. ROWNTREE

asked the First Commissioner of Works what steps have been taken to express the thanks of the Government to Mr. Chubb for his gift of Stonehenge to the nation?

Sir ALFRED MOND

Mr. Chubb was thanked by me on behalf of His Majesty's Government in my letter to him of the 18th September last, which letter appeared in the Press a few days later. The Prime Minister further expressed in a letter to me his gratification at Mr. Chubb's generous gift to the nation, which was duly conveyed by me to Mr. Chubb. An opportunity of renewing that expression of thanks will occur on the 26th of this month, when Mr. Chubb will formally hand over to me the deed of gift at Stonehenge.
