HC Deb 22 July 1858 vol 151 c1933
MR. BYNG

said, he wished to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for War, whether there would be any objection to permit the inhabitants of Hounslow and the vicinity to pass across the Review Ground at that place, and to use it for recreational purposes, subject to proper restrictions, and at such times as would not interfere with military duties and regulations?

GENERAL PEEL

replied, that the drill-ground was let on lease, the terms of which were extremely stringent; but he could state that, happening to live in the immediate neighbourhood, he was in the constant habit of riding and walking across the Review Ground, and he had seen many other persons doing so also.
