HC Deb 22 July 1929 vol 230 c910
66. Mr. MATHERS

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he can now indicate the result of his consideration of the proposal to permit perambulators to be wheeled through the Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh?

Mr. LANSBURY

There are many difficulties in the way of adopting my hon. Friend's proposal, but as an experiment, in order to be able to gauge whether inconvenience is caused, I have agreed to authorise the Regius Keeper to allow perambulators carrying young children to be wheeled through the gardens, for a period of three months. It may interest my hon. Friend to know that permits for vehicles carrying invalid children or adults have always been obtainable under the existing practice.
