HC Deb 02 December 1912 vol 44 cc1887-8
10. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked if the Government is under a promise to find a site for the London University; is it intended to give a site in the Botanic Gardens for the purpose; and what area of land, if any, during the past twenty years has been taken from the enclosures and added to the space to which the public have access?

Mr. W. BENN

The Government is under no promise to find a new site for the London University, and it is not intended to use part of the Botanic Gardens for this purpose. The area of land taken from the enclosures and added to the public part of Regent's Park during the last twenty years is two and a half acres.
