§ MR. MONTAGU (Tower Hamlets, Whitechapel)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, after ascertaining that only three barges were moored to the Tower of London Wharf on the Saturdays in 1890 (namely, one on each of three separate Saturdays), he will admit the public to the riverside promenade on Saturdays and Sundays under regulations which will avoid any difficulty with regard to landing stores? I also wish to ask whether the announcement which appeared in a morning journal on Friday is authentic?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE, Lincolnshire, Horncastle)Yes, Sir; I have great pleasure in stating that Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that the Tower Wharf be thrown open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays as soon as the necessary arrangements are completed.
