§ 12. Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether any decision has been arrived at regarding the better lighting in Hyde Park after dark; and, if so, whether he will give the House the particulars?
The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for HOME AFFAIRS (Lieut.-Colonel Sir Vivian Henderson),on behalf of the First Commissioner of Works: The First Commissioner has decided to provide additional lights along the paths behind the Achilles Statue, as this area is badly lighted at present, and the seats and chairs there are largely used in the evenings. Single lights will also be placed at two points in a central part of the park where they are considered necessary.
§ Mr. DAYWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman take into consideration the question of lighting in the other Royal Parks?
§ Sir V. HENDERSONThat question does not arise.
