§ 53. Sir BASIL PETOasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that motor coaches now use Hyde Park; whether these vehicles are allowed there and, particularly, whether they are allowed to park in the vicinity of the Achilles statue; and if he will state what, if any, new regulations with regard to traffic in the park have been made in this connection?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby - Gore)Motor coaches carrying sightseers are allowed to enter Hyde Park on payment of a fee, but they are not allowed to park. There has been no recent alteration in the regulations for these coaches. The only coaches allowed to park near the Achilles statue are those coming to the park to carry bandsmen with their instruments to the bandstand.
