§ MR. CAVE (Surrey, Kingston)To ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he has been requested to direct the carriage gates of Richmond Park to be opened at 6 a.m. during the summer months for the benefit of those who-desire to take horse or bicycle exercise at an early hour; whether he is prepared to accede to such request, and, if not, whether he will explain for what reason the request is not entertained.
(Answered by Mr. Harcourt.) There has been no general request for the earlier opening of the gates during the summer months; and I should not be prepared to accede to any such request in view of the serious addition to the already long hours of the gatekeepers which would be involved thereby.
