41. Lieut.-Colonel SPENDER CLAYasked the hon. Member for the Pollok Division of Glasgow, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if he will state what is the annual cost of maintaining a succession of plants in the flower beds at the west end of the Mall?
§ Lieut.-Colonel Sir J. GILMOUR (for the First Commissioner of Works)Although the area has been reduced by 25 per cent., the cost is still as high as £460. I think the outlay thoroughly justified.
