HC Deb 18 March 1898 vol 55 cc240-1
MR. GERALD LODER (Brighton)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider the practicability of constructing a subway front the vicinity of the principal Government offices in Whitehall and Downing Street to Palace Yard in connection with the Parliament Street improvement scheme?

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

This Question was considered by the Committee of 1896, but no decision was taken upon it. At the same time, in view of the great convenience directly to Members of the House of such a subway, I will have the practicability and cost most carefully considered in connection with the new Public Offices scheme.
