HC Deb 16 February 1939 vol 343 cc1943-4W
Mr. Bossom

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will give the approximate number of important monumental statues that have been erected in the Metropolitan Police District since the Royal Fine Art Commission was insti- tuted; and which of these designs have been withheld from the Commission for its comment?

Sir P. Sassoon

So far as can be ascertained the number of important statues which have been erected in the Metropolitan Police District since the Royal Fine Art Commission was instituted is 11 and in all these cases the Commission were consulted at some stage of the scheme. In six cases their advice was sought in regard to both site and design; in the remaining cases they were consulted only as regards the site.
