HC Deb 30 July 1903 vol 126 cc911-2
MR. CLAUDE HAY

I beg to ask the hon. Member for West Derbyshire, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether the St. John's ambulances in Hyde Park have been decided upon as being as satisfactory as the Metropolitan Police ambulances in Hyde Park; and whether he will state the result of the promised inquiry as to the number of and positions in which ambulances are placed in Hyde Park, having regard to recent accidents to horsemen and others.

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH (Derbyshire, W.)

The St. John's ambulances in Hyde Park have been inspected by Sir William Bennett, who reports that they are not only quite as satisfactory as the Metropolitan Police ambulances, but, owing to their lightness and simplicity, best suited for the purposes of work in Hyde Park. There are now ambulances at Alexandra Gate, Hyde Park Corner, the Marble Arch, and the Police Station.
