§ MR. MONTAGUI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he would state the number of barges moored at the Tower of London Wharf during 1890, and the number of barges so moored on the Saturdays of that year; and if he will state the result of the inquiries he promised to make, with the view of admitting the public to the riverside promenade on Saturdays and Sundays?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. BRODRICK, Surrey, Guildford)There were 42 barges moored at the Tower Wharf during 1890, and of these a barge was moored alongside on three separate Saturdays. As regards the second question, perhaps the hon. Member will kindly repeat it in two or three weeks time.
