HC Deb 05 February 1878 vol 237 cc1052-3
SIR HENRY JAMES

asked the First Commissioner of Works, If his attention has been called to a Private Bill called "The Albert-Terrace (Hyde Park) Im- provement Bill, "under which" the promoter "seeks to take compulsorily the property of several persons and also to construct a road (over which he may build) into Hyde Park; and, whether he, as representing the Crown, approves of the construction of such road?

MR. GERARD NOEL,

in reply, said, that his attention had been called to the Bill, and the Government did not approve of the construction of the proposed road into Hyde Park.

SIR HENRY JAMES

gave Notice that if the Government did not oppose the Bill, as he hoped they would, he should call attention at the proper time to what he considered an abuse of the procedure of this House.
