§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the revenue derived from Regent's Park exceeds the cost of its maintenance; and, if so, what is the amount of such excess?
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)The annual cost of maintaining Regent's Park, including Primrose Hill, is about £9,600. The only receipts derived from the Park have been obtained principally from grazing rents, and they amount to about £300. It is understood that there is a considerable estate in and about the Regent's Park belonging to the land revenues of the Crown and under the charge of the Department of Woods and Forests.
