§ MR. MONTAGU (Tower Hamlets, Whitechapel)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether arrangements could be made for granting to the public free access to the gardens and waterside promenade adjoining the Tower of London?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. W. H. SMITH) (Strand, Westminster)966 Taking into consideration various events which have occurred in the last two or three years and the peculiar nature of the Tower of London, I do not see my way at present to giving the public free access to these gardens.
