§ 53. Sir H. Williamsasked the First Commissioner of Works how the fees charged for riding in Hyde Park compare with those charged in Richmond Park?
§ The First Commissioner of Works (Mr. Ramsbotham)No fees are charged for riding in Hyde Park. As my hon. Friend is no doubt aware, riding there is confined to a track, and that track has been in existence for over 60 years. If riding took place all over Hyde Park, with the consequent wear and tear, and if a track, in addition, was being formed there now for the first time, there would be good grounds for some contribution being made by the riders.
