HC Deb 11 April 1927 vol 205 cc19-20
40. Mr. PILCHER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether the First Commissioner will next year bear in mind the complaints recently made at the Falmouth flower show, and elsewhere in Cornwall and the Scilly Islands, on the ground of the privileged position enjoyed by foreign bulb-growers in the London parks; and will he give the bulb-growers of Cornwall and the Scilly Islands an opportunity of demonstrating the quality of their blooms to the London public?

Captain KING (for The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS)

I must point out to the hon. Member that foreign bulb-growers have no privileged position in the Royal Parks. As has already been stated in this House, the First Commissioner will gladly give equal facilities for the display of home-grown bulbs, and announce that they are home-grown.
