HC Deb 01 March 1889 vol 333 c718
MR. F. SEAGER HUNT (Marylebone)

asked the hon. Member for the Knutsford Division of Cheshire whether it is the fact that, in spite of the unanimous opposition of the Vestry of St. Marylebone, the Metropolitan Board of Works has granted permission to the Samaritan Free Hospital to advance their frontage 12 feet on the Marylebone Road; and, whether, if this is so, in view of the importance of preserving all open spaces in the Metropolis, and of the danger of one encroachment forming a precedent for others, the Board will postpone action in the matter until the subject can be dealt with by the London County Council?

MR. ALAN DE TATTON EGERTON

The Board decided to-day to take no further action in the matter.

MR. SEAGER HUNT

Was the determination of the Board arrived at after full consideration of the remarks made by the deputation?

The Question was not answered.
