§ SIR CHARLES RUSSELLasked the First Commissioner of Works, If his attention has been called to the condition of the footway between Buckingham Gate and The Mall; and, whether it cannot be rendered more cleanly for the use of foot passengers?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTON, in the absence of the First Commissioner of Works, said that the attention of the First Commissioner had been repeatedly called to the state of the portion of the Mall in question, and among others by the hon. Member for East Surrey. He felt it would be very difficult to acquiesce in the suggestion of the hon. Member for Westminster, unless some general plan could be devised for laying down asphalte between Buckingham Gate and Marlborough House. The matter was now under consideration, and as soon as a decision was arrived at, his noble Friend would communicate it to the House.
