HC Deb 07 March 1872 vol 209 c1529
MR. A. JOHNSTONE

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether, in his opinion, paragraph eighteen of the First Schedule of the Royal Parks and Gardens Bill will enable the Ranger of Richmond Park or the First Commissioner of Works, or any other authority, to close the public right of way through the said park between sunset and sunrise?

MR. AYRTON

said, in reply, that the Bill could not affect or destroy any existing rights; but to prevent apprehension on that subject, he should have no objection to a proviso in the Bill of which Notice had been given to save all the rights of ways.
