HC Deb 29 April 1925 vol 183 c158
28. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Minister of Health whether he can inform the House as to the present position of the negotiations for the acquisition of Gunnersbury Park as an open space and recreation ground for the people of Greater London?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend has now received applications for sanction for the necessary loans from the Ealing and Acton Councils, and a public inquiry will shortly be held into them. He understands that the Middlesex County Council are also to consider the question of making a contribution towards the cost of acquisition.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

May we take it that the Ministry of Health will afford every help in its power?

Sir K. WOOD

As my hon. Friend knows, the Ministry is anxious to help as far as it possibly can.
