§ MR. THOMSON HANKEYsaid, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether his attention has been called to the way in which the work connected with the Ornamental Water in the Regent's Park is being carried out, and whether the gradients have not been made at an angle extremely dangerous in the event of any persons, especially children, slipping into the water?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSin reply, said, his attention had been called to the way in which the works connected with the Ornamental Water in the Regent's Park was being carried out. There was a difference of opinion as to whether it was likely to be dangerous to children who might slip into the water; but the question was under his consideration, and if it should appear that any serious danger was likely to occur, he should consider whether some protection could not be afforded.
