HC Deb 02 April 1900 vol 81 c947
MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he could see his way to provide seats on the grass and under the trees in the Green Park for the use of those who frequent the park who are for the most part unable to pay for chairs.

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

There are 118 free garden seats on or facing the walks in the Green Park, and the supply seems to me sufficient. There are many objections to placing seats in secluded places under the trees, but I will consider whether more of the seats near or on the walks can be reversed so as to face the park.
