§ 36. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the First Commissioner of Works the reason for the unsightly iron pipes which have for many years projected above the stone balustrade at the western end of the ornamental water in St. James's Park between Buckingham Palace and Wellington Barracks; and whether they can now be removed?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)The pipes were part of a proposed lighting scheme in connection with the Queen Victoria memorial. Alternative lighting arrangements were eventually decided upon, and the pipes are not now necessary. I am obliged to my hon. Friend for drawing my attention to this, and I am giving instructions for the projecting parts to be removed.
