§ 41. Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEEasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he can see his way to opening the road across the park from Prince's Gate to Victoria Gate to motor omnibuses, in view of the fact that this would tend to relieve the congestion in Piccadilly and Park Lane, and would not cause any inconvenience to the public '?
Mr. D. WARDThe road in question is already used by light vehicles, but its use by motor omnibuses and other heavy vehicles would involve the reconstruction of the bridge over the Serpentine, and the carrying out of other alterations to the Park, the cost of which would be very heavy. My right hon. Friend regrets, therefore, that he cannot see his way at the present time to accede to the suggestion.
