HC Deb 16 February 1888 vol 322 cc544-5
MR. KIMBER (Wandsworth)

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the action, at law referred to in answer to a Question put on 3rd February, 1887, relative to the extensive damage to Wandsworth Common by the vehicular traffic of the tenant of the Royal Commissioners of the Patriotic Fund, is still pending; or, if concluded, with what result?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)

said, the powers of the Conservators of Wandsworth Common were transferred last year by an Act of Parliament to the Metropolitan Board of Works. I think that my hon. Friend would best obtain information on the subject referred to from that Body. I may add that the Commissioners of the Royal Patriotic Fund do not admit the alleged damage.
