§ SIR JOHN SHELLEYsaid, he would beg to ask the hon. Member for Bath, as a Member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Whether that Board has come to any decision as to the opening of Hamilton Place to public traffic, with the view of relieving the crowded state of Park Lane?
§ MR. TITEsaid, in reply, that the Metropolitan Board had had under its consideration the crowded state of Park Lane, and had come to the conclusion that the 335 best, if not the only, mode of relieving it would be by the opening of Hamilton Place. They had communicated this opinion to the First Commissioner of Works. There were difficulties in the way on account of the opposition of the tenants of some houses, who were Crown Lessees; but since all that was required in order to effect the improvement was a slip of land only 100 yards in length, he trusted that the right hon. Gentleman would lend his aid in carrying out this great metropolitan improvement.
