HC Deb 30 June 1899 vol 73 cc1148-9
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he will consider the propriety of increasing the number of seats in Kew Gardens, where the accommodation is inadequate for the public frequenting the gardens.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustines

I find that there is seating accommodation in Kew Gardens for at least 2,000 persons. I have no funds at my disposal this year for supplying more; but, supposing more to be necessary, I will consider in the preparation of next year's Estimates whether some additional seats can be provided for.
