HC Deb 12 May 1909 vol 4 cc1801-2
Mr. REES

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he would consider the propriety of extending the ride from Hyde Park into the Kensington Gardens?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. L. Harcourt)

I cannot give any encouragement to this suggestion. It would destroy the amenities of Kensington Gardens, and I am glad to think the cost would be prohibitive.

Mr. REES

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of keeping members of Parliament and others in good health, and the difficulty of getting sufficient exercise at present?

Mr. L. HARCOURT

I attach more importance to keeping the children in Kensington Gardens in good health.
