§ MR. LABOUCHEREasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a Return, containing lithograph plans of the Schemes of his Department and that 215 of the noble Lord the Member for Haddingtonshire, for alterations at Hyde Park Corner?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREWith respect, Sir, to the plan which I have submitted for dealing with the Hyde Park Corner difficulty, I may remind hon. Members that a model of it was placed in the Tea Room of the House for many weeks, and gave, I believe, general satisfaction. An alternative scheme has since been devised by the noble Lord the Member for Haddingtonshire (Lord Elcho), and has also been placed by him in the Tea Room. It is only one of many alternatives, and not the best of them; and it is not one for which I could be responsible if the House should disapprove my proposal. I do not think, therefore, it would be well to circulate it among Members with, and as the only alternative to the official plan.
§ LORD ELCHOwished to state with reference to his plan for the improvement of Hyde Park Corner, which the First Commissioner of Works had spoken of as having been in the Tea Room of the House, that it was still there, and that he should be happy to explain it to hon. Members. He should like to hear from the right hon. Gentleman when there would be an opportunity for discussing the question?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREsaid, that there would be two opportunities, one on the Motion to go into Supply, and the other on the Vote itself.
