§ MR. SAMUDAasked the First Commissioner of Works, If he is aware that a notice has lately been put up in Victoria Park, near the Victoria Park Railway Station, offering to let ground in 542 the Park on building leases direct from the Crown; and, if such appropriation of the ground to building purposes would not be in violation of "The Victoria Park Act, 1872," and the understanding come to between the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Government to secure the Park unbuilt over for the public?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHin reply, said, that as the Question concerned the Office of Woods, it would be right that he should answer it instead of the First Commissioner. He had not yet been able personally to inform himself on the subject; but in the course of a few days he hoped to do so, and he would give his hon. Friend every information.
