§ SIR JOSEPH DIMSDALE (London)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General, whether in the contemplated acquisition by the Government of the site of Christ's Hospital, the purchase will be subject to the arrangement agreed to between the Corporation of London and the Governors of Christ's Hospital for making a street fifty feet wide between Giltspur Street and King Edward Street and for the widening of the latter thoroughfare.
LORD STANLEYThe acquisition of the site of Christ's Hospital will not be subject to any arrangement for the formation of a new street, since any such scheme would render the property entirely unsuitable for the purpose for which it is required by the Post Office; but a strip of land is left at the disposal of the Governors of Christ's Hospital with a view to the widening of King Edward Street.
§ SIR JOSEPH DIMSDALEasked if the noble Lord was aware that months before the Government entered into communication with the Governors of Christ's Hospital a site had been proposed to the Corporation of London for a new street and the widening of another street.
§ * MR. SPEAKEROrder, Order! The hon. Gentleman is now arguing the Question.
