§ 59. Mr. AMMONasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether the recently-discovered subway between Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament can be cleared and restored for use as a means of crossing a dangerous roadway by Members of Parliament?
§ Sir V. HENDERSONMy Noble Friend regrets that he is unable to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion, as no subway has been discovered. Recent 418 excavations have disclosed what is probably the foundation of Tudor buildings which formerly occupied the site.
§ Mr. SCRYMGEOURIs there any possibility of closing that part of the present subway leading to the Underground Station which is specially dangerous to Members of Parliament?
§ Sir V. HENDERSONI do not think that that arises on this question.
