Mr. David Adamsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Security, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, what consideration has been given to the protection or removal of windows and pictures of historic value under the control of his Department; and what steps have been taken to this end?
§ Mr. MabaneMost of the pictures from the various State Galleries have been moved out and dispersed to safer places. The Ministry of Building has but little historic glass under its control, and no pictures of real historic importance. Some windows have been protected on the spot and from others the glass has been removed to safer places.
