HC Deb 07 May 1906 vol 156 c987
Mr. MYER

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Government, taking into consideration the crowded state of the Zoological Gardens at holiday time, and the danger of panic arising, will make it one of the conditions of their tenancy that the Zoological Society shall in the interest of public safety construct an additional subway connecting the northern portion of the gardens with the southern.

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

I do not think the facts of the case would justify the course proposed by my hon. friend, but I understand that the society have in contemplation the provision of an additional subway.
