HC Deb 10 May 1883 vol 279 cc404-5
MR. A. PEASE

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the progress of the works at Hyde Park Corner has shown that it would be a mistake to re-erect the arch at the west end of Constitution Hill?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

The rebuilding of the Wellington Arch at the new entrance to the Green Park was part of the arrangements explained to the House when the improvement of Hyde Park Corner was determined on, and I see no reason for departing from that arrangement.

In reply to Mr. GERARD NOEL,

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

said, he would consider the advisability of cutting a little more from the Green Park in order to relieve the traffic from Grosvenor Place to Piccadilly.
