Even on their own logic, the Government’s case is confusing, because Churchill is not the only wartime Prime Minister this country has had: nor is he the only wartime premier who has a statue in Parliament Square. Standing next to him is David Lloyd George, who led our nation to victory in the First World War. He transformed the machinery of government to meet the demands of total war, ensuring that munitions and morale were there to see that conflict through to its conclusion. I see the leader of the Liberal Democrats, who I am sure would want to see that great former Liberal Prime Minister added to the schedule to the Bill.
