HC Deb 26 January 1960 vol 616 c17W
89. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Works whether he will now take steps to build a new Jewel House at the Tower of London to enable visitors to see the Crown Jewels.

Lord John Hope

I am having discussions with the various authorities concerned about a scheme which has been outlined for a new Jewel House at the Tower of London. If the present proposal proves to be acceptable in principle my Ministry will proceed with detailed plans in the hope that funds will be available to enable the work to start within the next two or three years.
