HC Deb 05 June 1919 vol 116 cc2192-3
29. Major MALONE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the Alexandra Palace is to be taken over by the Government; and, if so, will he make provision for the people of Tottenham, Hornsey, Wood Green, and the districts owning the Palace to have access to the park and grounds?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Sir Alfred Mond)

I have nothing to add to the answers given to the questions of the hon. and gallant Member for the Wood Green Division on the 29th ultimo, and the hon. Member for North Tottenham yesterday.

Major MALONE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that hostile resolutions have been passed by the local authorities on this subject?

Sir A. MOND

I am not aware of any hostile resolution.

Major NEWMAN

How long will the Government retain Alexandra Palace?

Sir A. MOND

It is impossible to say. At the present time it is intended to use it for the liquidation staff, and when the liquidation is over the staff will disappear.
