HC Deb 10 February 1931 vol 248 cc213-4
74. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the First Commissioner of Works if he can yet indicate what is to be the future of the Botanic Gardens when the Crown lease falls in early in 1932?

Mr. PALING

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply to a similar question on the 11th November last. The matter is still under consideration.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Is this House to assume that within one year of this very valuable and historic property falling in the Government have absolutely no idea in their heads as to what use it is going to be put?

Mr. PALING

The reply says that the matter is under consideration.
