HC Deb 22 October 1946 vol 427 cc340-1W
Mr. Carson

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the bronze bust of the Emperor Sileus and the silver statue of the Goddess Diana, removed from the museum at Richborough Castle for the sake of safety at the outbreak of war, have not been returned, and if he will state their present whereabouts and when they will be returned to the place where they rightfully belong.

Mr. Tomlinson

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the bronze bust of Silenus, which is being cleaned and treated for preservation by my officers and will be returned to the museum as soon as possible. I am unaware of the existence of any statue of Diana found at Richborough.
