HC Deb 11 August 1898 vol 64 c920
MR. SKEWES-COX (Surrey, Kingston)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he can state the approximate date when the Queen's Cottage Grounds at Kew Gardens will be opened to the public?

MR. AKERS DOUGLAS

It will not be practicable to admit the public into these grounds until next spring, as there are no funds available this year for the cost of fencing and other necessary work which must first be carried out.
