§ Sir C. OMANasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will reconsider the projected scheme for the transference of the Imperial War Museum to the south of the Thames, in consideration of the fact that its valuable library will thereby be made practically inaccessible to many of those who have hitherto used it, owing to its distance from central London?
§ Mr. LANSBURYI think the hon. Member is under some misapprehension, Bethlem Hospital is closer to central London than South Kensington. It can he reached in a quarter of an hour from here on foot. There is a practically continuous service of omnibuses and trams and two Underground stations are a few minutes away. If the scheme matures, I am confident that the museum will be more convenient and accessible than it is at present.
