HC Deb 15 July 1898 vol 61 cc1202-3
COLONEL WELBY (Taunton)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been called to the sharpness of the slope and to the narrowness of the roadway from Queen Anne's Gate to Birdcage Walk; whether he can see his way to improving the slope and widening the road sufficiently for vehicles to pass; and whether any of the property adjoining the entrance belongs to Government?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

My attention has not before been called to this point, but I will look into it and see whether it is practicable to do anything to meet the view of my honourable and gallant Friend. None of the houses adjoining this entrance to St. James's Park belong to the Government, but the strip of garden is within the boundaries of the park.
