HC Deb 06 March 1906 vol 153 cc303-4
MR. CLAUDE HAY

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if he will say what is the present position with regard to the Charing Cross entrance to the new road in St. James's Park; and when it is likely to be completed and thrown open for public traffic.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. HARCOURT,) Lancashire, Rossendale

The position has under- gone no recent change. The foundation of the buildings and entrance to Charing Cross are in course of construction. It is impossible to fix a date for the opening of the road, which must depend upon the completion of the buildings.

MR. CLAUDE HAY

Has all the land necessary to complete the Charing Cross end of the Mall been acquired?

MR. HARCOURT

I think so, but if the hon. Member will put down a Question I will inquire.
