§ MR. HORNIMAN (Chelsea)To ask the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the rapid progress now being made with the Marble Arch improvement, he can give an approximate date when the paving will be completed, and when the whole will be finished; whether the old iron railings and gateways are to be re-erected; what electric standards are to be used; and whether he will arrange for the drawings of the said new ironwork to be exhibited in the tea-room.
(Answered by Mr. Harcourt.) The road-making will, I hope, be finished by 1st May. The re-erection of the lodge and lavatory will take somewhat longer. The old iron railings will be used again as far as possible. The electric standards will match those in the immediate neighbourhood. The gates will be new 763 and the drawing of them shall be placed in the tea-room.
