HC Deb 02 August 1906 vol 162 c1369
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is proposed by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to rebuild Regent Street with a colonnade on each side; and, seeing that the original colonnade in the Quadrant was removed, as it was found to be objectionable and to render the shops too dark, and that colonnades are out, of place in this dull climate, and are never built now even in the city of Paris, whether he will give this proposal his most serious consideration before agreeing to it.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. MCKENNA, Monmouth, N.)

I understand that there is no intention of rebuilding the street with a colonnade.
