HC Deb 16 July 1868 vol 193 cc1281-2
MR. ALDERMAN LAWRENCE

said, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether notices will be served during the autumn on the owners of houses in Holywell Street, and also on the owners of houses in the line of a new street from the Strand to Lincoln's Inn Fields, on the west side of proposed New Law Courts, in order that a Bill may be brought in, during the next Session of Parliament, to provide approaches to the Bite of the New Courts of Justice by the removal of Holywell Street and the formation of a new street from the Strand to Lincoln's Inn Fields?

LORD JOHN MANNERS

said, in reply, that the Royal Commissioners did not recommend the removal of the property referred to by the hon. Member for the approaches to the New Law Courts. And, however desirable it might be that these houses should be removed for metropolitan improvements, Her Majesty's Government had no intention of giving the notices with a view of bringing in a Bill for the purchase of the property next year.
