HC Deb 05 July 1928 vol 219 c1585W
Mr. CLARRY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether his attention has been called to the neglected condition of Colonel Alexander Gordon's monument at Mount St. Jean, erected on the field of Waterloo in 1817; and, if so, whether he will direct an adequate sum to be expended annually from the fund devoted to the maintenance of ancient monuments and buildings, in order to preserve this historic monument in a manner creditable to the British Empire?

Sir V. HENDERSON

My Noble Friend regrets that the funds at his disposal cannot be devoted to the care of monuments outside Great Britain.
