HC Deb 15 July 1867 vol 188 cc1517-8
MR. ALDERMAN LUSK

said, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the large Wooden Erection in Hyde Park is being taken down by his orders; and if he will state the cost of this erection and its removal; and further, if he will inform the House from what Fund, voted by Parliament, the cost will be defrayed?

LORD JOHN MANNERS

said, in reply, that the gallery had been removed by his orders in consequence of a communication from the Horse Guards. The probable cost of its erection and removal would be £2,180, and that would be defrayed out of the vote for Civil Contingencies.
