HC Deb 31 July 1906 vol 162 cc709-10
MR. BOULTON (Huntingdonshire, Ramsey)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he is aware of the condition of the roads in Richmond Park; and if he will give instructions for a better system of watering and procure the services of a steam roller in lieu of the one-horse roller at present in use.

MR. HARCOURT

I am aware that, owing to the prolonged drought, the condition of the roads in Richmond Park has suffered a good deal. There are no funds available for much extra watering and rolling this year. In the next financial year I hope it may be possible to purchase a motor roller.

MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)

asked the right hon. Gentleman whether ho would either limit the speed of motor cars in Richmond Park or stop them altogether.

MR. HARCOURT

asked for notice of the question as to limiting speed, adding that there would be no excess of speed in the motor roller.
