HC Deb 11 December 1893 vol 19 c1035
SIR F. DIXON-HARTLAND

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether, having regard to the Hampton Local Board's request, made in accordance with Section 2 of "The Allotments Act, 1887," and as the Hampton Authorities are unable to find laud elsewhere than Bushey Park for allotments for working men, he is now prepared to find some portion of the land attached to Bushey Park for that object, in the same way as the late Government did out of the Home Park at Hampton at the request of the Hampton Wick Local Board?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, Bradford, Central)

I am glad to say that I have been able to advise Her Majesty to comply with the request of the Authorities of Hampton, and to offer to them a field of 13 acres adjoining Bushey Park for the purpose of allotments, to be held by them under licence from the Crown at a reasonable rent.
