HC Deb 15 March 1897 vol 47 c661
MR. SETON-KARR (St. Helen's)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether, on general grounds of public convenience safety, provision can be made in the Estimates for the construction of cycling tracks in such of the London parks as are suitable for the purpose?

MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS

I am not prepared to recommend the Government to embark upon the very considerable outlay that would be entailed were they to commence the formation of cycling tracks, which would, moreover, in my opinion, seriously injure the appearance of the parks.
