HC Deb 10 March 1899 vol 68 c435
COLONEL WELBY (Taunton)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been drawn to the number of persons of evil character who haunt Hyde Park and Green Park during and after nightfall; and, whether he can see his way to a better supervision of these parks in the evening?

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

Disorderly conduct in Hyde Park has of course been brought to my notice from time to time; but the matter is properly one for the action of the police authorities, and they are. I believe, fully alive to it.
