HC Deb 06 November 1919 vol 120 c1658
24. Mr. WILSON-FOX

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is satisfied that the anti-aircraft station near the Serpentine, in Hyde Park, is still required for purposes of defence against hostile aircraft; and, if it is not so required, if he will order the immediate removal of this encroachment upon space which is needed for purposes of public recreation?

Mr. PARKER

The buildings of the station have, I understand, now been sold by the Disposals Board, and will be removed as soon as possible and the land restored to the Park.

Dr. MURRAY

Would it not be a proper thing to retain the station as an excellent outlet for the surplus cash which we have got at the present time?

Forward to
