§ 38. Miss Fookesasked the Lord President of the Council if he will remove certain pictures such as "Alfred inciting the Saxons to prevent the landing of the Danes" in Committee Room 10, from the walls of the House of Commons.
§ Mr. PriorWhile I can appreciate the consideration which prompted my hon. Friend's Question, the selection of pictures to be hung in the House of Commons part of the Palace of Westminster is not my responsibility but is a matter for the Advisory Committee on Works of Art which has been appointed by my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing Construction to advise you, Mr. Speaker, and himself in these matters. I am sure the committee would always welcome suggestions from my hon. Friend.
