§ LORD ERNEST BRUCEasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the absence of the First Commissioner of Works, not yet a Member of the House, Whether, after the repeated offers for the last three years of the late Commissioner to carry out some plan to lessen the traffic, during the London season, at Hyde Park Corner for the benefit of the public, he has any objection to give an assurance that the whole subject will be taken into the serious consideration of Her Majesty's Government before the next Session of Parliament?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,in reply, said, there could be no doubt of the importance of the Question. It was one which involved a great deal of difficulty, but it clearly required consideration. He had already been in communication with the present First Commissioner of Works on the subject, and could assure the House it was one which would obtain immediate consideration.
