§ 26. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, for what reason stacks of bricks are being placed on the grass not far from the roadway separating Kensington Gardens from Hyde Park, and not many yards from the Rima panel?
§ Captain HACKING (for The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS)The bricks have been placed in their first position by the London County Council in connection with repairs which they are carrying out to the storm relief sewer, which runs under Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
§ Sir W. DAVISONIn order to avoid further questions, can the hon. and gallant Gentleman give a general assurance that no architectural erections on the lines of the Rima panel will be put up in any of the Royal Parks without public approval?
§ Captain HACKINGI hope these bricks will not be a temptation to my hon. Friend to use them for any purpose other than that for which they are intended.
