The House of Lords Acommodation and Works Committee, on 11th November 2003, took the disappointing decision to oppose the siting of our statue on College Green (for which we have planning permission from Westminster City Council).

We immediately wrote to all sponsors asking that they lobby its Commons equivalent, the Administration and Works Committee, which met on 10th December 2003.

The letters poured in and we are so delighted to be able to say that they voted by four votes to two for the statue to go on College Green.

They have asked the House of Lords Committee to reconsider its decision.

Thank you to all our wonderful sponsors who encouraged their MPs to raise the issue with the Committee, thank you to all the MPs who responded to their constituents' requests, thank you to all the sponsors who are MPs who wrote or spoke to Admin and Works Committee members, and thank you to the four farsighted, responsive, progressive and thoughtful MPs who voted for our site.
