§ 21. Major NEWMANasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he could arrange with the Fellows of the Zoological Gardens, in view of the number of soldiers at present on leave in London, who are left without opportunity for recreation on Sundays, to allow soldiers in uniform to have access to the gardens on Sunday on payment of a small fee; or, if not, whether soldiers of the Oversea Dominions could be admitted free on Sunday afternoons?
§ Mr. WALTER REA (Lord of the Treasury)The Council of the Society arranged more than a year ago, and the arrangement still holds good, that officers and men in uniform, of the Navy, 652 Army and Colonial forces, and also all wounded soldiers and sailors, shall be admitted free and without tickets on Sundays by the office entrance to the gardens.
