HC Deb 24 June 1886 vol 307 c247
MR. BRADLAUGH(for Mr. KIMBER) (Wandsworth)

asked the honourable Member for North West Staffordshire, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the facilities which have been accorded to cyclists as regards Richmond Park can be also accorded as regards Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens; and, if not, what are the causes or reasons which stand in the way?

MR. LEVESON GOWER (A LORD of the TREASURY) (Stafford, N.W.)

The First Commissioner cannot admit that the circumstances of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are similar to those of Richmond Park; and, looking to the crowded state of the roads in Hyde Park, he is of opinion that velocipedes safely cannot be admitted.
