HC Deb 07 July 1930 vol 241 cc33-4
62. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the First Commissioner of Works the proposals of his Department in regard to the future of the Botanic Gardens when the Crown lease falls in during 1932?

Mr. LANSBURY

It is the intention of the Government that the ground shall be devoted to some purpose for the benefit of the public, but no decision has yet been arrived at as to the precise use to which it can be put.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Will the right hon. Gentleman be willing to receive any suggestions as to how that ground can be utilised?

Mr. LANSBURY

We should be very glad indeed to receive suggestions.
