HC Deb 01 July 1926 vol 197 cc1341-2
48. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if, before making any new rules for Hyde Park, and especially for Rotten Row, he. will have the existing rules carried out effectively?

Captain HACKING

(for The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS): The First Commissioner is most anxious that the existing rules should be enforced, and he is confident that the police are doing their utmost in this direction. Very few complaints have reached the Department, but if my hon. and gallant Friend sees any breach of the rules, the First Commissioner would be glad if he would at once report the matter to the police on duty.

Sir B. FALLE

Is the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that there is only one mounted policeman in the Row?

Captain A. EVANS

Is he aware that there are two mounted policeman in the Row?

Mr. SEXTON

May I ask the reason why this locality enjoys such a peculiar title as "Rotten ROW," and if it is at all dignified to give it such a name?

Mr. SPEAKER

That question might be addressed to the President of the Board of Education.
