HC Deb 04 May 1936 vol 311 c1339
1. Mr. LIDDALL

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware of the untidiness of the closed north-west corner of the old Botanical Gardens in Regent's Park; and will he invite the Lincoln horticultural firms to assist him to utilise the space as a garden retreat for the 37 weeks of the year during which it is now wasted?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I gather from the hon. Member's question that he is referring to the area occupied by the Open-Air Theatre, which has been specially adapted for this purpose. I am not prepared to do away with or move this theatre.
