HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 cc1393-4
22. Lieut.-Colonel WALTER GUINNESS

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the hardship caused to children living in the neighbourhood of Kew Gardens by the charge of 1d. for admission, he will restore the pre-war practice of allowing free admission to the gardens on certain days of the week?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Sir A. Mond)

I understand that the Board of Agriculture will reply to this.

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

But are not the Kew Gardens under the Office of Works and within the province of the First Commissioner?

Sir A. MOND

No, Sir.

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

Is it not usual to pass questions on in such cases?

Sir A. MOND

Yes, and I understood that in this case the Board of Agriculture were dealing with it.
