§ That the Council shares the view of the Lord Privy Seal that the present widespread popularity of the Festival Gardens in Battersea Park coupled with the possibility that their continued operation might enable some, if not all, of the cost of their construction to be met from revenue, constitutes a case for the detailed examination of the question of their continuance after 1951; that if, as a result of such examination, a continuance should be decided upon, the Council would not raise objection to enabling legislation permitting an extension of not more than five years; but considers that there should he an experimental period of two years after the conclusion of the Festival before any decision is taken for or against a permanent continuance and that the consent of the Council should he required to any extension beyond two years; but during that experimental period there should he no change in the present limitation of £40,000 of the Council's total liability of loss; and that in the course of the proposed detailed examination the possibilities should he explored:
- (a) of providing in Royal parks the games facilities which could otherwise be provided in the Festival Gardens area;
- (b) of making a reduction in the price of admission in future years; and
- (c) of remitting the admission charge of old age pensioners.
