HC Deb 17 October 1918 vol 110 c289
34. Sir J. D. REES

asked the First Commissioner of Works why the Green Park is shut at nine o'clock in summer?

Sir A. MOND

Green Park is closed at 10 p.m. in the summer. On the first introduction of Summer Time this hour was altered to 11 p.m., but it proved to be highly objectionable from the point of view of public decency, and the original closing hour was adopted again this year.

Sir J. D. REES

Why is it more necessary to close the Green Park than Hyde Park, for instance?

Sir A. MOND

I have given the hon. Gentleman the reason.
