CAPTAIN FABERI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, looking at the state of unemployment now existing, he can recommend that the roadway from Princes Gate over the Serpentine to Bayswater Road be doubled so as to avoid the inconvenience for residents in Kensington having to go round by Park Lane to Paddington when the existing road across the park is shut.
§ THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. L. HARCOURT,) Lancashire, RossendaleI regret that I am unable to adopt the suggestion of the hon. Member. The existing road is a very wide one, and to double it would be to create an eyesore. It is only closed once a year, and then at the time of year least calculated to cause inconvenience.
§ MR. L. HARCOURTCertainly.
