65. Mr. MARJORIBANKS

asked the First Commissioner of Works if he will give an assurance that no buildings shall be erected on the ground to be vacated by the Royal Botanical Society in Regent's Park without the permission of Parliament?

Mr. LANSBURY

I willingly give an assurance to the hon. Member that, in accordance with the usual practice of my Department, any such proposal will be brought to the notice of Parliament.

Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

Has any proposal been made to erect buildings on this site?

Mr. LANSBURY

I have not heard of them, except in the imagination of people who have nothing else to do.
