HC Deb 24 November 1930 vol 245 c885
38. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the First Commissioner of Works if he will consider revising the regulation which enforces dogs being kept on the lead in certain areas in Regent's Park?

Mr. LANSBURY

I have given this matter careful consideration, but I am afraid that I cannot see my way to relax the rule, which is designed for the protection of the flower beds.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that there are no flowers or plants in the parks at the moment which can possibly be harmed by any animal? Why not let the dogs have a free run for their money during the six winter months?
