HC Deb 24 February 1871 vol 204 c829
VISCOUNT ROYSTON

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether it is his intention, this Session, to open the communication for the public between Marlborough House Gate and Storey's Gate, Birdcage Walk, by the east end of St. James's I ark?

MR. AYRTON

, in reply, said, when the question as to opening a communication between Marlborough House and Storey's Gate by the eastern side of St. James's Park had last been put to him, he stated that no change would be made, unless it could be shown that the change was absolutely necessary to enable hon. Members to obtain access to the House. But, as he had heard no suggestion to that effect, no occasion had arisen for bringing the subject under the notice of the Government.
