HC Deb 29 April 1895 vol 33 cc17-8
MR. W. F. D. SMITH (Strand Borough)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he can state what steps he intends to take relative to the site formerly occupied by Her Majesty's Theatre?

SIR JOHN HIBBERT

I informed the hon. Member for North Paddington on March 19 last that the delay in utilising the site does not rest with the Crown, but with the parties interested in the lease agreed to be granted. It is not considered necessary to take any immediate steps on behalf of the Crown, whose interests are not prejudiced.
