§ MR. LAWSON (St. Pancras, W.)asked the First Commissioner of Works, Why the public are debarred from the use and enjoyment of Constitution Hill, which is maintained and inspected at the public cost, out of moneys appropriated to the Royal Parks; who are the persons privileged to ride and drive along it; and, whether he will endeavour to open it for the convenience of the Metropolis?
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)The use of Constitution Hill by the public is subject, as in the case of all the other roads in the Royal Parks, to Rules laid down in pursuance of the Parks Regulation Act, 1872. At present, all foot passengers and persons riding on horseback can pass up Constitution Hill; but special permission is required by persons using carriages. I am not aware that it is intended to make any change in these arrangements.
§ MR. LAWSONinquired by whom permission was given?
