HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 cc2043-4
52. Mr. WINDSOR

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has received any complaints against the action of his Department in cutting up the turf, etc., in Kensington Gardens for the purpose of laying electric cables; what sanction, if any, was obtained before this work was undertaken; and what is the reason for spoiling the amenities of this park?

Captain HACKING

I have been asked to reply. In accordance with the usual practice, permission was given by the Office of Works to a power company to lay a main across Kensington Gardens. No complaints have reached the Department, and when the work is completed, the amenities of the park will be in no way affected.
