§ Mr. Boyceasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that famous London statues are grouped together in their wartime retreat; and whether he will consider having them so dispersed that they would not be liable, as now, to destruction by a single bomb?
§ Mr. HicksYes, Sir, and I am taking steps to ascertain whether the statues in question can be so dispersed as to ensure less risk of air raid damage whilst at the same time preserving adequate supervision.
