HC Deb 23 July 1888 vol 329 cc187-8
MR. SUMMERS (Huddersfield)

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he will enter into communication with His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with the view of seeing whether it would be possible for the National Rifle Association to be allowed to retain the privilege, which it has enjoyed for 28 years, of holding its annual shooting meetings on Wimbledon Common?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)

The Office of Works has no authority over Wimbledon Common; and I do not think that I should be justified in entering into communication with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge with the view suggested by the Question of the hon. Member.
