HC Deb 16 April 1888 vol 324 c1321
MR. KIMBER (Wandsworth)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is correctly stated, in the Return recently presented on the 21st February last, relating to Royal Parks and Pleasure Gardens, that the management of "Richmond Old Deer Park" was "transferred to the Metropolitan Board of Works on 1st November, 1888;" if that date is a misprint for 1887 or any other past day; and, whether the Park will be now thrown open to the public?

THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

The hon. Member quotes from the first issue of the Parliamentary Paper referred to, which contained the two misprints to which he draws attention; these were corrected in a subsequent issue of the document. The Old Deer Park, Richmond, has never been open to the public; and I am not aware of any change being in contemplation.
