HC Deb 23 May 1895 vol 34 cc80-1
CAPTAIN BAGOT (Westmorland, Kendal)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, whether he will make arrangements for permitting bicycles and tricycles to be ridden, subject to proper regulations, in Hyde Park before the hour of 10 a.m.?

MR. JASPER TULLY (Leitrim, S.)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, whether he can state if any decision has been arrived at to permit cycling in Hyde Park?

*MR. HERBERT GLADSTONE

In answer to these questions, I have to say that His Royal Highness the Ranger has consented to an alteration of the Park Rules so as to give cyclists the use of the carriage roads in Hyde Park from the how of opening until 10 a.m. The regulations necessary for safeguarding the general public interests will he made. The new privilege cannot be exercised until the expiration of 40 days after notice of the new rules shall have been given in the London Gazette, as provided by the Rules Publication Act of 1893. Steps will be taken to publish the notice as soon as possible.
