§ 6. Mr. GEORGE THORNEasked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether, as being responsible for Regent's Park, he has had a scheme called the Mappin Terraces at the Royal Zoological Gardens under consideration?
§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (Lord of the Treasury)The scheme has been brought to the notice of the First Commissioner of Works, and he has personally inspected the model and site. He hopes shortly to be in a position to place a sketch of the proposal in the Tea Room of the House. He is of opinion that, with minor alterations, the plan will add considerably to the attractions of the Royal Zoological Gardens, and be of great interest to the public in the adjoining park. Besides this, the conditions under which the animals live will be improved.
