HC Deb 05 March 1946 vol 420 c50W
Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Works when he expects to make arrangements to straighten the sword in the hand of the equestrian statue of Richard Coeur de Lion and to repair the holes in the horse's tail, near hind leg, off foreleg and hindquarters.

Mr. Tomlinson

The war damage incurred by the statues and memorials in the care of the Department is being reviewed and decisions will be reached in due course as to what repair should be put in hand in order to prevent further deterioration, and which war- scars can be allowed to remain. This equestrian statue is included in the survey.
