§ SIR MORTON PETOsaid, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether in the event of the Government entertaining the proposition of connecting the north and south sides of Hyde Park by a Road, he will lay Plans, Sections, and Estimates of such proposed Road upon the Table of the House prior to any Vote being taken to carry the same into effect?
MR. COWPERsaid, the making of a great public thoroughfare across Hyde Park would affect the comfort and recreation of so many persons that no decision could be come to without the fullest consideration. He should not think of proposing any Estimate to the House without giving the fullest information as to any plans that might be recommended.
