HC Deb 31 March 1920 vol 127 c1244
51. Mr. GILBERT

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he can make arrangements to allow swimming during the ensuing summer months in Regent's Park?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Sir Alfred Mond)

I regret that the answer must be in the negative. To render the lake in Regent's Park suitable for bathing would involve a heavy expenditure, as it is very shallow and there are no adequate facilities for introducing fresh supplies of water.
