January 15, 2015 - The Chairman in News & Blog Posts, Chairman's Blog
On Monday afternoon there was a short debate in answer to a question on the Commemorations and should you be interested go to http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201415/ldhansrd/text/150112-0001.htm#15011223000401. There was mention of the famous Maclise mural painting in the Queen’s Gallery in the House of Lords which is in need of restoration:
This is a very intricate and complex matter and the University of Cologne is considering all the points that come out of its research. After that careful consideration —because obviously we do not want to do anything at all that could further damage the paintings—this will come before the Works of Art Committee. The options before it will then be considered, and then all of us will hear more.
