§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if, having regard to the general desire of Her Majesty's loyal subjects to give expression by personal presence to the national satisfaction in the approaching marriage of His Royal Highness the Duke of York with Her Serene Highness the Princess Victoria May of Teck, and the necessary limitation of the route to be traversed by the wedding procession, he will consider the desirability of promoting much-needed employment by causing stands to be erected, either by the Office of Works or a lessee, within the railings of the Green Park from Walsingham House to Constitution Hill, 1762 and devote the large sum certain to be realised by the sale of places to the Samaritan Funds of St. George's and Westminster Hospitals, or other charitable objects?
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE,) Bradford, CentralI have considered the suggestion of the hon. Member, and have come to the conclusion that it would not be a legitimate use of the Royal Parks to turn them to account in the manner proposed even for the purpose of making money for charities.
