§ 139. Mr. Skeffingtonasked the Minister of Works whether he is aware of the quantity of dust reposing on the statues in St. Stephen's Hall and other parts of the Palace of Westminster, and whether he will have this matter attended to.
§ Mr. TomlinsonYes, Sir. It is difficult to prevent dust collecting on the statues in the Palace of Westminster owing to the war damage and the building work which is being carried out in the building, but it is proposed to clean the statues during the coming Recess.
