HC Deb 22 April 1931 vol 251 c972
28. Miss WILKINSON

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the Government proposes to take any steps to acquire the Foundling Hospital site to secure the open space for the children of the neighbourhood?

Mr. LANSBURY

The Commissioners of Works have no power to acquire this site as an open space. The London County Council is the authority in the county of London for such purposes.

Miss WILKINSON

Will the Government get into communication with the London County Council with a view to some money being raised for this purpose?

Mr. LANSBURY

I think a number of people and authorities are in communication with the London County Council and other people, and I am hopeful that good results will follow.
