HC Deb 24 March 1873 vol 215 cc8-9
SIR CHARLES DILKE

asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, If he has received a protest, from the Homage of the Manor of Hampton Court, against the erection of a close fence, about eight feet in height, inclosing a portion of Hampton Court Green, which inclosure is asserted to be contrary to the award made on the passing of the Hampton Inclosure Act, 1812; and, whether the erection of such fence has been sanctioned by Her Majesty's Office of Works; and, if not, whether it is the intention of the representatives of the Crown to take steps to abate the encroachment.

MR. AYRTON

In consequence of information I received I communicated with the owners of the property adjoining this ground, and requested that the fence should be removed. I am informed that the owners of the property have complied with the request.
