§ 35. Rear - Admiral Sir MURRAY SUETERasked the First Commissioner of Works whether the continuation of the mansion in Regent's Park, formerly known as St. John's Lodge, as a residence or for occupational uses is a result of a definite policy, or whether the alternative question of it being added to the amenities of the park has been post- 306 poned for decision; and, if so, till what date?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)In pursuance of the policy to abolish, so far as possible, enclosures in the Royal Parks, the gardens of St. John's Lodge have already been added to Regent's Park, and, as I have stated in reply to previous questions, the future of the house itself is still under consideration.
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOOREWould the right hon. Gentleman consider suggestions as to utilising this building?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREVery gladly. As I have informed the House, suggestions that it might be used as a branch museum are being considered.
