QUESTION OF REMOVAL
BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHT,
Received Jan. 7, 10.10 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 6. Replying to protests against the removal of the Queen Victoria statue, Earl Curzon of Ivedleston reminds Lord Beauchamp that the Peers themselves agreed to the removal, and his Majesty also gave his consent. “It is at this stage,” says Lord Curzon, “that Lord Beauchamp seeks to appeal over the head of the Peers to the public. Tne vote of the Peers was accepted by him. and everybody concerned as the final tribunal.” . , _ , Lord Curzon explains that the Queen s statue is merely being transferred • to another site. He adds: “To talk ,ot its removal from one part of the building to another a few' yards distant as an act of vandalism seems to me to abuse the language.”
