§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)asked the First Commissioner of Works whether there had, during the past twelve months, been any, and what, change of the tenancy of the Ranger's Lodge, Greenwich Park; who was now the tenant, and what were the terms of the tenancy: whether the question of throwing open to the public the fifteen 1008 acres, or thereabouts, hitherto annexed to the Lodge, had been considered, as promised last Session; and, what decision had been arrived at?
§ *THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. PLUNKET,) University of DublinIn last autumn General Lord Wolseley became tenant of the Ranger's Lodge, Greenwich Park, which had before been in the occupation of Lady Mayo. Lord Wolseley holds by the pleasure of Her Majesty. When I came to inquire into the matter, raised last year by the question of the hon. Member, I found that the fifteen acres referred to had always been attached to the Ranger's Lodge; that it had never formed a part of the Park open to the public; and that nothing is paid by the public for the maintenance of any portion of these grounds. Under these circumstances no change has been made.
