§ 41. Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he can give an undertaking to the House that no steps will be taken to demolish St. John's Lodge, Regent's Park, until this House reassembles after the summer Recess or until it has had an opportunity of registering its views on the proposal?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREAs I have stated in reply to other questions, I have at this moment various proposals under consideration as to possible uses for St. John's Lodge. I do not anticipate being in a position to reach a decision in the matter before the Recess, and, if I ultimately come to the conclusion that there is no alternative to demolition, I will certainly inform the House before any such action is taken.
§ Mr. BURNETTCan the right hon. Gentleman assure us that the fabric will not come to pieces before these proposals are formulated?
