HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 cc33-4
54. Mr. MATHERS

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been called to the risk of injury, especially to elderly people, attendant upon the climbing of Arthur's Seat in the King's Park, Edinburgh, owing to the slippery nature of the rock near the summit; and whether he proposes to take action to minimise the danger?

Mr. LANSBURY

I am informed that as there are several well-defined and easily negotiated tracks leading to and from the summit, there is no need for visitors to climb over the rock. In these circumstances, it would not appear that any action on my part is necessary.

Sir W. DAVISON

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the propriety of having a kilt fitted to Arthur's Seat?
