HC Deb 21 April 1936 vol 311 cc27-8
59. Sir C. COBB

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, as part of the Queen Mary Garden in Regent's Park is used as a railed-off theatre and concert area for only 15 weeks of the year, and as the public is thus deprived of enjoyment of this garden space for the other 37 weeks, he will, subject to existing obligations, transfer the theatre to some other site in Regent's Park, restore the railed-off area to the public, and use the turf and trees as a wilderness garden or design the turf into terraces, so that the public may have free access to the Queen Mary Garden all the year round?

Commander SOUTHBY (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. The answer is, No, Sir.
