HC Deb 18 August 1909 vol 9 cc1373-4
Mr. LANE-FOX (for Mr. Staveley-Hill)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the amount of valuable building land owned by the Crown which is lying idle in Kensington High-street; and whether he will take steps to urge the Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues to proceed with the work of development without delay?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The Commissioners of Woods have, I am informed, made every effort to let this land for building purposes, and will be glad to treat with anyone desiring to utilise it for the erection of buildings of a suitable class.
