HC Deb 26 June 1820 vol 1 cc1338-9
Mr. M. A. Taylor,

seeing an hon. friend of his in his place, begged to know whether it was the intention to re-open the king's Mews as a thoroughfare to the public? That passage, which had hitherto afforded great convenience to the public, particularly to the working classes, had been of late shut up. He wished to know whether, in the event of its not being re-opened, it was intended to make another thoroughfare, which would afford an equal facility to the public in that neighbourhood?

Mr. Huskisson

said, he was not able to give the hon. member any satisfactory information on the subject. The Mews was not in his department, but he understood that its being left open as a thoroughfare, was only by indulgence. He did not know whether it was or was not: to be re-opened.

Mr. M. A. Taylor

said, he did not presume that the public had a right of thoroughfare through the Mews; he was only anxious to know, whether any steps were to be taken to remedy the inconvenience to the public.
