– in the House of Commons at on 5 March 1941.
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether he will consult with the Fine Art Commission, with a view to rebuilding London on the Greek classical, Italian renaissance and English Georgian models, rather than in other styles of architecture?
