§ Mr. McLarenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will decorate with stone carving the tympanum of the East Block Queen Anne's Building, Royal Naval College, Greenwich, so as to match the tympanum of the West Block.
§ Mr. AmeryThe existing full relief sculpture on one of the tympana of the Western King Charles Block is of the period 1664–69. The Queen Anne Block is the work of a different architect, to a general design by Sir Christopher Wren, and was completed in 1720. It is not known what sculpture, if any, the archied may have had in mind and any modern work could only be a guess as to the original intentions. The two buildings differ in other ways too and I do not think we should make the change suggested.
