MR. HERBERTsaid, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Work, When the passage leading from Palace Yard to the Station of the Metropolitan Railway is to be opened?
§ MR. LAYARD, in reply, said, he had hoped the passage would have been opened before the present time. There had, however, been some delay with respect to underground works connected with the sewers and gas, which had to be removed. The work had now been commenced, and he had been assured by the architect that it would be completed within four months.
