Abstract
THE discussion which took place in the House of Lords on December 2, when the question was raised as to the preservation of ancient structures in Scotland and England, while achieving little in the way of immediate action, the motions upon which debate arose being by leave withdrawn, was far from abortive. It served emphatically to direct public attention to an irretrievable loss of material of historic or aesthetic value, especially in Scotland, and in the replies elicited from the representatives of the Government, afforded hope of official support and co-operation in the efforts which are being made to avert further destruction, even though the prospects of financial assistance from the Treasury are not encouraging.
