§ MR. WHITMORE (Chelsea)To ask the hon. Member for Chorley, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether consideration has now 531 been given to the suggestion that the enclosure round Canning's statue in Parliament Square should be opened to the public, and laid out so as to correspond in appearance and utility with the garden which adjoins it on the South.
(Answered by Lord Balcarres.) The First Commissioner regrets that he is unable to give any undertaking with regard to this enclosure.
