HC Deb 03 November 1908 vol 195 c943
MR. WATT (Glasgow, College)

To ask the First Commissioner of Works if he will say why motor cars are excluded from some of the parks in London, in some cases from certain roadways, in others at certain hours, while horse carriages are granted permission to use these roadways and enter the parks at these hours.

(Answered by Mr. L. Harcourt.) Motor cars are excluded from Hyde Park between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. during the months of May, June, and July. They are also excluded from the road between the Achilles statue and the Magazine. This is done in the interests of that portion of the public which does not use and does not like motor-cars.
