§ 37. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Under-Secretary of Stale for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, what facilities are offered in the Royal Parks for the encouragement of games and sports; and whether every effort is being made to grant these facilities to the people at the lowest possible price?
§ Captain HACKING (for the FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS)It has been the policy of the Department to endeavour to meet the increasing demand for space for games in the Royal Parks, with due regard to the interests of all classes using the parks. In the outlying parks, facilities are provided for playing football, cricket, hockey, tennis, and golf. I can assure my hon. Friend that the Department endeavours to give these facilities at very reasonable rates, considering the cost to the public of the general upkeep of the parks.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINMay I ask whether park golf has been a success?
