HC Deb 08 August 1905 vol 151 cc635-6
MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he hopes before the end of the session to be able to make any statement with regard to the land recently purchased by His Majesty, for the public enjoyment, as an addition to the Phœnix Park; or will the arrangements connected with the user of the new acquisition be shortly published.

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

The land in question has been purchased by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and will be let on lease to the Board of Works, whose duty it will be to preserve it in good condition, so as to secure the amenities of Phœnix Park.

MR. T. M. HEALY

How soon will the terms of the arrangement be made public?

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

I hope the arrangement will be completed before long.
