§ MR. GALLOWAY (Manchester, S. W.)On behalf of the honourable Member for Cheltenham I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if his attention has been called to the condition of Constitution Hill almost nightly after dusk, and if he can see his way to improve the lighting of this thoroughfare, and to have the police supervision increased.
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS, Kent, St. Augustine's)According to the statement I made in the discussion on the Estimates, my attention has been given to the matter of improved lighting on Constitution Hill, anti my honourable and gallant friend will see that new lamps have already been put up there. The question of police supervision is not under my control, but I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that there is a constable on duty at night at each end of the road and also in the middle, whilst a mounted officer is continually on patrol duty.
