HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 c1233
1. Lieut.-Colonel Marcus Lipton

asked the Minister of Works whether he will open the riverside walk and restaurant facilities on the South Bank to the public this summer until the expiry of the lease.

The Minister of Works (Mr. David Eccles)

The riverside walk belongs to the London County Council and I am about to hand it back to them. Any inquiries should be addressed to the Council.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Can the Minister give an assurance that he will do all within his power to encourage the praiseworthy efforts of the L.C.C. to make this attractive amenity available to the public as quickly as possible?

Mr. Eccles

Yes, Sir.
