HC Deb 20 July 1967 vol 750 cc335-6W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he will state the present plans for the Hampton site in Trafalgar Square; when work will begin; and by when it is likely to be completed.

Mr. Prentice

It is proposed to build a new National Portrait Gallery on this site, as the last stage in a plan for the development of both the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.

At the earliest, work on the new Gallery will not begin until some time in the 1970s.
