HC Deb 05 April 1886 vol 304 cc733-4
MR. MACDONALD CAMERON (&c.) Wick,

asked the honourable Member for North-West Staffordshire, Whether he will inquire as to the hours of opening Kew Gardens, with a view to an earlier hour being fixed for the summer months?

THE LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. LEVESON GOWER) (Stafford, N.W.)

As much concession has been made in the matter of opening Kew Gardens as early to the public as was possible without interfering with the scientific character of the gardens and materially increasing the expense of police, I cannot hold out any hopes of further alteration in this respect.
